We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.
In so great a danger the faintest hope should be considered.
Where knowledge suffices, we have no need of belief; but where knowledge does not prove its virtue or appears insufficient, we should not dispute the rights of belief.
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given;
The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
If you have any faith, give me, for heaven's sake, a share of it! Your doubts you may keep to yourself, for I have a plenty of my own.
Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)
The message well I hear, my faith alone is weak
Faust, Part 1 (1808)
