“For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral?
But if a spiral, am I going up or down it?
How often -- will it be for always? -- how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time.” 
― C.S. Lewis

“Having faith in God did not mean sitting back and doing nothing. It meant believing you would find success if you did your best honestly and energetically.” 
― Ken Follett

“It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him.” 
― Abraham Lincoln

“Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.” 
― Elizabeth Gilbert

“When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

“You have as much laughter as you have faith.” 
― Martin Luther

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” 
― Jim Valvano

“When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes.” 
― Thomas S. Monson
