Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable. – H. L. Mencken

To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his love, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with its own nature and its natural powers of love. – Hans Urs von Balthasar

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness. – Henry David Thoreau
