In its proper acceptation, it is certain that confidence in our own abilities renders us capable of accomplishing physical things that we would not be able to do if we doubted ourselves. However, here it is only in the moral sense that  these words should  be  understood. The  mountains  that  faith  moves are difficulties, resistance and ill will; in other words, all the things found among humans, even when it concerns the best of things. Everyday prejudices, material interests, selfishness, the blindness of fanaticism and prideful passions are other such mountains that bar the way to all who are working for humankind’s progress. Robust faith provides the perseverance,  strength and resources that enable us to overcome the obstacles in little as well as in big matters. Faith that is faltering provides uncertainty  and hesitation, which strengthen the barriers we wish to overcome; this faith does not choose the means to win, because it does not believe in the possibility of victory.
