“There is nothing anti-intellectual in the leap of faith, for faith is not believing without proof but trusting without reservation.”

“It is terribly important to realize that the leap of faith is not so much a leap of thought as of action. For while in many matters it is first we must see then we will act; in matters of faith it is first we must do then we will know, first we will be and then we will see. One must, in short, dare to act wholeheartedly without absolute certainty.”

“I love the recklessness of faith. First you leap, and then you grow wings.”

“What is faith? Faith is being grasped by the power of love.”

“Too many religious people make faith their aim. They think 'the greatest of these' is faith, and faith defined as all but infallible doctrine. These are the dogmatic, divisive Christians, more concerned with freezing the doctrine than warming the heart. If faith can be exclusive, love can only be inclusive.”

“If we misconceive God as Father Protector,...then each disappointment reduces what may confidently be affirmed about God. And this is how most people lose their faith.”

“[D]are to act wholeheartedly without absolute certainty.”
