Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
~ Saint Augustine
Seeds
Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed... Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.
~ Henry David Thoreau
Dappled Light
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
~ e. e. cummings
Wonder
Mankind will not perish for want of information but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe, but a will to wonder.
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Mam: A philosophy of Judaism.
