Faith

We may define "faith" as a firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. Where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith". We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence. The substitution of emotion for evidence is apt to lead to strife, since different groups substitute different emotions. - Bertrand Russell

They bring me faith like a closed package in someone else's plate. They want me to accept it so that I don't open it. - Fernando Pessoa

Faith is belief without proof. Faith is fine, but don't call it science. - Loyd Auerbach

It is time that we admit that faith is nothing more than the license religious people give one another to keep believing when reasons fail. - Sam Harris
