To believe only possibilities is not faith, but mere philosophy.

As reason is a rebel to faith, so passion is a rebel to reason.

The faith I was born into formed me.

I've spent the last 50 years or so steeping myself in the world's religions, and I've done my homework. I've gone to each of the world's eight great religions and sought out the most profound scholars I could find, and I've apprenticed myself to them and actually practiced each faith.

Faith is an act of rational choice, which determines us to act as if certain things were true, and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.
