*To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny. - [[Joseph Addison]], The Spectator, Mar. 8, 1711 <ref>http://www.notable-quotes.com/a/atheism_quotes.html</ref>

Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan. -  [[Calvin Coolidge]], speech, Jul. 25, 1924 <ref>http://www.notable-quotes.com/a/atheism_quotes.html</ref>
