Belief Quotes
-
Freedom of belief and worship is the most important guarantee of social peace.
Ahmet Necdet Sezer
-
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.
Stephen Covey
-
The belief that the good in American society will finally win out... I don't believe any more.
Elia Kazan
-
All men are, at times, influenced by inexplicable sentiments. Ideas haunt them in spite of all their efforts to discard them. Prepossessions are entertained, for which their reason is unable to discover any adequate cause. The strength of a belief, when it is destitute of any rational foundation, seems, of itself, to furnish a new ground for credulity. We first admit a powerful persuasion, and then, from reflecting on the insufficiency of the ground on which it is built, instead of being prompted to dismiss it, we become more forcibly attached to it.
Charles Brockden Brown

Belief in limits creates limited people
Anthony Robbins
-
Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.
William James
-
For I think belief in God is not a matter of reason at all; I think it finally is a matter of love.
William Peter Blatty
-
But technology is the real skin of our species. Humanity, correctly seen in the context of the last five hundred years, is an extruder of technological material. We take in matter that has a low degree of organization; we put it through mental filters, and we extrude jewelry, gospels, space shuttles. This is what we do. We are like coral animals embedded in a technological reef of extruded psychic objects. All our tool making implies our belief in an ultimate tool. That tool is the flying saucer, or the soul, exteriorized in three-dimensional space.
Terence McKenna
-
This thought strengthened in me my belief that all men, without exception, deserve to be pitied, if only because they are alive.

-
When you have a belief, then you make your views known.
Judy Collins
-
Contrary to popular belief, maybe, I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people. And I'm not really super impressed even if you're my hero; I can just rap with you and we can hang. I'm not gonna like sit there and bite my lip and ask questions about certain songs - okay I might do that once or twice. But it's just, like, two people hanging out.
Bradford Cox
-
There's the belief that we can't be smart enough to write. And certainly censorship of women, too.
Alice Mattison
-
Thus through half-belief, we are often doomed to repeat that very past we should have learned from.
Ray Bradbury
-
The belief that one's suffering has a greater cosmic purpose, and is thus more exciting and more noble, well, it made a lot of sense to me.
Heidi Julavits
-
Historically the belief in heaven and the belief in utopia are like compensatory buckets in a well: when one goes down the other comes up. When the classic religions decayed, communistic agitation rose in Athens (430 B.C.), and revolution began in Rome (133 B.C.); when these movements failed, resurrection faiths succeeded, culminating in Christianity; when, in our eighteenth century, Christian belief weakened, communism reappeared. In this perspective the future of religion is secure.
Will Durant
-
Belief is a form of infantilism. There is no ground for believing anything.
Terence McKenna
-
It is true that too much belief can be bad for your health.
Terry Eagleton
-

Sung Kang
