Each of us literally chooses, by his way of attending to things, what sort of universe he shall appear to himself to inhabit

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is still theoretically possible; and as the test of belief is willingness to act, one may say that faith is the readiness to act in a cause the prosperous issue of which is not certified to us in advance.

Faith is one of the forces by which men live, and the total absence of it means collapse.
