O welcome pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope, thou hovering angel, girt
with golden wings!--_Milton._

Life grows dark as we go on, till only one clear light is left shining
on it, and that is faith.--_Madame Swetchine._

When my reason is afloat, my faith cannot long remain in suspense, and I
believe in God as firmly as in any other truth whatever; in short, a
thousand motives draw me to the consolatory side, and add the weight of
hope to the equilibrium of reason.--_Rousseau._

Flatter not thyself in thy faith to God, if thou wantest charity for thy
neighbor; and think not thou hast charity for thy neighbor, if thou

We cannot live on probabilities. The faith in which we can live bravely
and die in peace must be a certainty, so far as it professes to be a
faith at all, or it is nothing.--_Froude._

The great desire of this age is for a doctrine which may serve to
condense our knowledge, guide our researches, and shape our lives, so

It is more from carelessness about the truth, than from intentional
lying, that there is so much falsehood in the world.--_Johnson._

Falsehood and fraud shoot up in every soil, the product of all

Round dealing is the honor of man's nature; and a mixture of falsehood
is like alloy in gold and silver, which may make the metal work the
better, but it embaseth it.--_Lord Bacon._

To lapse in fullness is sorer than to lie for need: and falsehood is
worse in king than beggar.--_Shakespeare._

A liar would be brave toward God, while he is a coward toward men; for a
