St. Augustine Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. Martin Luther King Jr. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the highest passion in a human being.
Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further. The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith.
