"Faith is never identical with piety." "Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God." More In Faith "I am not here to parade my religious sentiments, but I declare I have too much respect for the faith in which I was born to ever use it as the basis of a political organization."― Wilfrid Laurier "In economics, hope and faith coexist with great scientific pretension and also a deep desire for respectability."― John Kenneth Galbraith "I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic that commands attention from people of every religion and every faith, and people of no faith. But I think what’s new is that we now have the capacity to communicate instantaneously across frontiers right across the world."― Gordon Brown
