But faith can stifle all science. - Henri-Frederic Amiel A firm faith is the best theology; a good life is the best philosophy; a clear conscience the best law; honesty, the best policy, and temperance the best physic. - James H. Aughey As a weak limb grows stronger by exercise, so will your faith be strengthened by the very efforts you make in stretching it out toward things unseen. - James H.

What to the faith are forms? A passing speck, A crow upon the sky. - Philip James Bailey Faith is a higher faculty than reason. - Philip James Bailey, Festus--Proem (l. 84) Faith, in order to be genuine and of any real value, must be the offspring of that divine love which Jesus manifested when He prayed for His enemies on the cross. - Hosea Ballou There is one inevitable criterion of judgment touching religious faith in doctrinal matters. Can you reduce it to practice? If not, have none of it. - Hosea Ballou, Manuscript--Sermons Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven; but when both are joined together, then doth the soul mount up to her eternal rest. - Francis Beaumont Faith is nothing but spiritualized imagination. - Henry Ward Beecher The highest order that was ever instituted on earth is the order of faith. - Henry Ward Beecher Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Bible, Hebrews (ch. XI, v. 1) For we walk by faith, not by sight. - Bible, II Corinthians (ch.

IV, v. 7) Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. - Bible, Job (ch. XIII, v. 15) Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. - Bible, Revelation (ch.
