Michael Novak Quotes

I think that hope is the act of continuing in the face of the truth.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

Be patient, my soul: thou hath suffered worse than this.

And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

Real faith is when you believe in something that you can't see. When things are going really bad and you can still get up and say I believe that they're gonna get better, that there's a higher lesson to what I'm going through. It can be hard sometimes, and to turn it around like that, that's true faith.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

He who has hope, has everything.

Having faith and trust that one day things will be greater, it sometimes is the one thing you need to stay positive in a negative situation.

You gotta have faith. You gotta keep your head up.

All you need to do is hold on tight...and believe.

Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct.

Bear the Cross cheerfully and it will bear you.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.

I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person.

Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.

Ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt.

You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.

Keep hope alive!

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Have a little faith, kick a little dirt.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

I have great faith in God. Without faith, I don't know how I would have been able to get through what I've been through.

It's a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.
