"Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you." ― Saint Augustine Topic(s): Faith Tags: depended, everything, though More From Saint Augustine "Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible." "God loves each of us as if there were only one of us." "Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point." More In Faith "Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission."― Vannevar Bush "Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery."― William Gurnall "There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise."― Christopher Hitchens
