Theories, Faith, Force

I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has
data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead
of theories to suit facts.
~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

We think having faith means being convinced God exists in the same way
we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely
convinced of God's existence think faith is impossible for them. Not
so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something
you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the
more heroic your faith.
~ Real Live Preacher

Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.
~ Abraham Lincoln
