"There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds." ― Alfred Lord Tennyson Topic(s): Faith More From Alfred Lord Tennyson "A smile abroad is often a scowl at home." "The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions." "My strength has the strength of ten because my heart is pure." More In Faith "From those to whom much is given, much is expected. I have been given much – the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state. I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me."― Eliot Spitzer "In Barack Obama, Democrats have put forth a man of strong religious faith who is comfortable connecting his spiritual life to his public role as a policymaker."― Mike McCurry "The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive."― Thomas Sowell
