Confidence and Faith

Buddhism

Wisdom never becomes perfect in one whose mind is not steadfast, who knows not the Good Teaching and whose faith wavers. There is no fear for an awakened one, whose mind is not sodden (by lust) nor afflicted (by hate), and who has gone beyond both merit and demerit.

Dhammapada 38-39

 

Christianity

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 7:7-12

Hinduism

Oh man, nurture the body
And strengthen it with food
That provides vigour and vitality.
Be self sufficient, oh man!
Be not a slave to any outside help
Listen to such words that enable
thee to conquer the inner foes
Be so Illustrious that all approach
thee (you) for guidance
Be Brave and overcome evils
With daring courage.
Realise thy own inner strength,
Fear no one,
Be steady and strong

Yajur 6.2,12,19,31,35

 

Islam

Then, as for those who believed and did good works, unto them will He pay their wages in full, adding unto them of His bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, them will He punish with a painful doom. And they will not find for them, against Allah, any protecting friend or helper.

Quran 4.173

 

Judaism

The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

Psalm 18: 24-27
