About This Quote
Faith is stronger than so-called reason, and it isn't about science. Faith is about trusting in something that we cannot see and feeling like we can accomplish anything we put our mind to. Reason is about using our minds to make those things happen. When we use our reason to make up those things, we don't feel as strong as when we use our faith.
