Faith is a passionate intuition.

Faith is spiritualized imagination.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

Faith and doubt both are needed - not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve.
