Faith

Dr. Carl Jung, famous psychiatrist, once told a sick young patient that he was suffering from a lack of faith in God and immortality. The young man asked, ``But, doctor, do you believe in God and immortality?'' Dr. Jung replied. '' I am a doctor, not a priest. But I tell you this, if you recover your faith, you will get well; if you don't you won't.''

The mason asks but a narrow shelf to spring his brick from; man requires only an infinitely narrower one to spring his arch of faith from.
Henry D. Thoreau, Journal

Faith in religion is like credit in business; before a store will extend credit to a person, there must be an investigation; only when there are reasonable grounds for extending credit is it ever given. So with faith; there must be reasonable motives for believing before there is the belief. Faith has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the emotions. Those who when asked why they believe something, sometimes answer: ``I felt it down here'' are equivalently identifying faith with a full stomach or a glandular reaction.
