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.
