Well, I have trust and belief that my chair is a good chair, so I have faith in it, and I believe that it won't tip over, which I believe for no good reason without evidence, so I have faith that it won't tip over. However I can say that it has never tipped over, although once it came very close and I had to stop leaning backward very quickly.
Ah wordplay, will you ever stop amusing me?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
