“Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not waste the time in which we can rediscover it”
— George Sand
Simplified Meaning:
Having faith means feeling excited and motivated because it gives our minds a strong and powerful energy. Imagine it as keeping a precious jewel safe; we should always hold onto it and never let go. Faith lifts us up and makes us think in big, beautiful ways. For example, if a person believes deeply in their ability to achieve a dream, this belief drives them to put in the hard work and creativity needed to reach that goal. Just like a runner needs to keep up their energy to finish a race, we have to hold onto our faith to give our minds the power to achieve great things. If we lose it, we might miss out on the amazing things we could discover or accomplish. So, we need to make sure not to waste precious moments when we can keep our faith strong.
