Belief Quotes
-
The greatest barrier to consciousness is the belief that one is already conscious.
Pyotr Ouspensky
-
The belief that love is a finite essence that will eventually run out holds a certain logic for me even now, even if I am supposed to know better.
Susanna Moore
-
No one's ready for a thing, until they believe that they can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief and not mere hope or wish.
Napoleon Hill
-
Whilst I may not actually help anyone to retaliate, I must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. Not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. As a teacher of nonviolence I must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
In the 18th century we knew how everything was done, but here I rise through the air, I listen to voices in America, I see men flying- but how is it done? I can't even begin to wonder. So my belief in magic returns.
Virginia Woolf
-
I hope you do exist. Even though hope is as intangible as belief, I am not hostile to it.
Craig Lancaster
-
I never lost my belief, in the midst of setbacks which were not spared me during my period of struggle. Providence has had the last word and brought me success.
Adolf Hitler
-
Islam undoubtedly deserves respect. It has some things in common with Christianity, such as Abraham as a common progenitor, and the belief in only one God.
Walter Kasper
-
The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
William Lyon Phelps
-
People are invariably surprised to hear me say I am both an atheist and an agnostic, as if this somehow weakens my certainty. I usually reply with a question like, “Well, are you a Republican or an American?” The two words serve different concepts and are not mutually exclusive. Agnosticism addresses knowledge; atheism addresses belief. The agnostic says, “I don't have a knowledge that God exists.” The atheist says, “I don't have a belief that God exists.” You can say both things at the same time. Some agnostics are atheistic and some are theistic.
Dan Barker
-
Jewels! It's my belief that when woman was made, jewels were invented only to make her the more mischievous.
Douglas Jerrold
-
One in whom persuasion and belief
Had ripened into faith, and faith become
A passionate intuition.
William Wordsworth
-
The concept that I like the most, and the one that I've taken most to heart, is the belief that people can't be united or focused unless they share a common philosophy-a philosophy that gives their effort a greater meaning.
Marc Benioff
-
Gaining insight into one's underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process.
Albert Bandura
-
Why abandon a belief merely because it ceases to be true? Cling to it long enough and... it will turn true again, for so it goes. Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
Robert Frost
-
Starvation!" exclaimed the abbe, springing from his seat. "Why, the vilest animals are not suffered to die by such a death as that. The very dogs that wander houseless and homeless in the streets find some pitying hand to cast them a mouthful of bread; and that a man, a Christian, should be allowed to perish of hunger in the midst of other men who call themselves Christians, is too horrible for belief. Oh, it is impossible - utterly impossible!
Alexandre Dumas
