Rav Nachman of Breslov - 8

Likkutei Eizot - Emet V'Emunah 4

"It is impossible to reach belief except through truth. The essence of belief is that which the mind doesn't understand, for if the mind understands, it is not belief. Of course, if the mind doesn't understand, how is it possible to believe what we are supposed to believe? To believe we need to look for truth, for then a person will understand. We need to believe in G-d, His righteous people and His Torah, even though it is impossible to fully understand them. The key is to look for truth, for through it we will strengthen our complete faith. "

Sometimes we need to be confident in what we think, even if we cannot prove its validity. While it is important to think and understand, we need to be careful not to lose sight of the simple experiences we face daily.
