I swear I will never henceforth have to do with the faith that tells the best!
  I will have to do only with that faith that leaves the best untold.
      - Walt Whitman

The steps of faith fall on the seeming void, and find the rock beneath.
      - John Greenleaf Whittier

Through this dark and stormy night
  Faith beholds a feeble light
    Up the blackness streaking;
      Knowing God's own time is best,
        In a patient hope I rest
          For the full day-breaking!
      - John Greenleaf Whittier, Barclay of Ury
         (st. 16)

A bending staff I would not break,
  A feeble faith I would not shake,
    Nor even rashly pluck away
      The error which some truth may stay,
        Whose loss might leave the soul without
          A shield against the shafts of doubt.
      - John Greenleaf Whittier, Questions of Life
         (st. 1)

Of one in whom persuasion and belief
  Had ripened into faith, and faith become
    A passionate intuition.
      - William Wordsworth, Excursion (bk. IV)

'Tis hers to pluck the amaranthine flower
  Of Faith, and round the sufferer's temples bind
    Wreathes that endure affliction's heaviest shower,
      And do not shrink from sorrow's keenest wind.
      - William Wordsworth,
        Weak is the Will of Man

Faith is not reason's labor, but repose.
      - Edward Young

On argument alone my faith is built.
      - Edward Young

There are no tricks in plain simple faith.-Shakespeare. Faith builds a bridge from this world to the next.
      - Edward Young

Faith builds a bridge across the gulf of Death,
  To break the shock blind mature cannot shun,
    And lands Thought smoothly on the further shore.
