For I do not seek to understand in order to believe, but I believe in order to understand. For I believe this: unless I believe, I will not understand.

I believe though I do not comprehend, and I hold by faith what I cannot grasp with the mind.

The fact that you are willing to say, 'I do not understand, and it is fine,' is the greatest understanding you could exhibit.

I believe in God, which means I am open to some absurd possibilities. But I understand the power of that faith, and I understand the metaphor of that belief.

To believe with certainty we must begin with doubting.

I say to people today, 'You must be prepared if you believe in something. If you believe in something, you have to go for it. As individuals, we may not live to see the end.'

Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

The older I get, the more I believe in what I can't explain or understand, even more than the things that are explainable and understandable.

The word 'belief' is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it.
