More From Matthew Simpson
- "If, then, faith widens the connections, it elevates the man."
- "Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense; or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others."
- "We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others."

- "Sectarian divide has created a schism in our society that is a major challenge. As monarch of all Bahrainis, it pains me to see many harmed by the actions of a few. And yet I am optimistic and have faith in our people. We all realize that now is the time to strike a balance between stability and gradual reform."― Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
- "Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it."― Robin Wright Penn
