Paul Tillich
-
Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.
-
The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.
-
He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.
-
Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.
-
Doubt is not the opposite of faith it is one element of faith.
