Our faith in freedom does not rest on the foreseeable results in particular circumstances but on the belief that it will, on balance, release more forces for the good than for the bad.

About This Quote

The power of faith to bring about the good is the subject of this quote. Faith is not limited to belief or trust in God or other higher powers or entities. It is more basic than that. It is confidence in what you have already seen happen, heard, experienced, or experienced yourself. The power of faith becomes greater when it becomes more powerful.
