James Anthony Froude Quotes

Maybe we are a little crazy. After all, we believe in things we don't see. The Scriptures say that faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1).

Now I want you to think that in life troubles will come, which seem as if they never would pass away. The night and storm look as if they would last forever; but the calm and the morning cannot be stayed; the storm in its very nature is transient.

It was a strange feeling going into a church I did not know for a service that I did not really believe in, but once inside I couldn't help a feeling of warmth and security.

Surely people go to church not to involve themselves in the world's problems but to escape from them.

Peace is not just the absence of war. Like a cathedral, peace must be constructed patiently and with unshakable faith.
