More In Faith "I have learned to have more faith in the scientist than he does in himself."― David Sarnoff "We are the meeting place, an entity that’s trying to connect faith and culture."― William P. Leahy "I don’t cook – I can cook – but I’m not very good. I like being asked over for dinner, because she can’t cook either. We would starve if it weren’t for modern technology. I know how to work a microwave, but love home cooked meals."― Mark Mothersbaugh
