A Quote by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Base souls have no faith in great individuals. — © Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Base souls have no faith in great individuals.
Faith is so rare-and religion so common-because no one wants to live between first base and second base. Faith is the in-between space where you're not sure you'll make it to second base. You've let go of one thing and haven't yet latched into another. Most of us choose the security of first base.
Worth begets in base minds, envy; in great souls, emulation.
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves; and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.
God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him
I came from a tradition where souls were a theological reality, not a faith reality. Souls were for saving, not for communing. Souls were for converting and, once they were converted, they were to be left alone. Souls were too mystical, too subjective, too ambiguous, too risky, too... well, you know - New Age-ish.
The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Never base your faith on your feelings. Base it on God's Word.
Prayers are heard in heaven in proportion to our faith. Little faith gets very great mercies, but great faith still greater.
I suspect that most of the individuals who have religious faith are content with blind faith
Prayerless souls are Christless souls, Christless souls are Graceless souls and Graceless souls shall soon be damned souls. See your peril, you that neglect altogether the blessed privilege of prayer! You are in the bonds of iniquity, you are in the gall of bitterness. God deliver you, for Hisname's sake!
I have great faith in the military. I have great faith in certain of the commanders, certainly. But I have no faith in Hillary Clinton or the leadership.
I'm not a member of any faith community, and I think faith is a deeply personal issue that individuals should deal with in their private lives.
On-base percentage is great if you can score runs and do something with that on-base percentage. Clogging up the bases isn't that great to me. The problem we have to address more than anything is the home run problem.
Everybody knows that the great reversed triangle of land, with its base in the north and its apex in the south, which is called India, embraces fourteen hundred thousand square miles, upon which is spread unequally a population of one hundred and eighty millions of souls.
Superstition is the only religion of which base souls are capable of.
