“Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.”

“It is time to stop seeing faith as a virtue, and to stop using the term “person of faith” as a compliment.”

“Faith does not mean paying lip service. Faith requires commitment.”

“Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.”

“The formulation "ways to faith" could be interpreted as implying that faith is a conclusion a person may come to after pondering certain facts about the world-facts about history, nature, or consciousness. If that were the case, one could lead a person to this conclusion by presenting these facts to him and pointing out their implications. I, however, do not regard religious faith as a conclusion. It is rather an evaluative decision that one makes, and, like all evaluations, it does not result from any information one has acquired, but is a commitment to which one binds himself. In other words, faith is not a form of cognition; it is a conative element of consciousness.”

“Faith is seated in the understanding as well as in the will. It has an eye to see Christ as well as a wing to fly to Christ.”

“Faith isn't an act of intelligence, it's an act of imagination.”

“Only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist.”

“Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others.”

“Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.”
