"Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe." ― Henry David Thoreau Topic(s): Faith Tags: doubts, faith, keeps More From Henry David Thoreau "Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself." "I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." "Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars." More In Faith "Man, I just feel blessed… I was in a situation where the only way I could come out of it was by putting my faith in God. No matter how good my lawyers were, no matter how much celebrity I had, everything was just stacked up against me."― Puff Daddy "After ‘Four Feathers,’ I quit then because I just lost faith. I didn’t like how the business was."― Wes Bentley "I am an Episcopalian who takes the faith of my fathers seriously, and I would, I think, be disheartened if my own young children were to turn away from the church when they grow up. I am also a critic of Christianity, if by critic one means an observer who brings historical and literary judgment to bear on the texts and traditions of the church."― Jon Meacham
