Believe Quotes (page 27)

Bertrand Russell quote: "No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and..."
No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and none was ever so wicked as each believes the other. Bertrand Russell
The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil. The Tragedy of our time is that those who still believe in honesty lack fire and conviction, while those who believe in dishonesty are full of passionate conviction. Fulton J. Sheen
The kind of happy I was that day at the Vet when "Hawk" Dawson actually doffed his red "C" cap to me, and everyone cheered and practically convulsed into tears - you can't patent that. It was one shining moment of glory that was instantly gone. Whereas life, real life, is different and can't even be appraised as simply "happy", but only in terms of "Yes, I'll take it all, thanks" or "No, I believe I won't." Happy, as my poor father used to say, is a lot of hooey. Happy is a circus clown, a... Richard Ford
Sherman Alexie quote: "And believe me, a good piece of chicken can make anybody..."
And believe me, a good piece of chicken can make anybody believe in the existence of God. Sherman Alexie
Men do not turn from God so easily. Not so easily. Deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. Something knows, and cannot e fled nor hid from. To imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. It was never that this man ceased to believe in God. No. It was rather that he came to believe terrible things of him. Cormac McCarthy
An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated. Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy. Leo Tolstoy
Oprah Winfrey quote: "What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or..."
What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe. Oprah Winfrey
Salman Rushdie quote: "When we stop believing in the gods we can start believing in..."
When we stop believing in the gods we can start believing in their stories. Salman Rushdie
Belief is a virus, and once it gets into you, its first order of business is to preserve itself, and the way it preserves itself is to keep you from having any doubts, and the way it keeps you from doubting is to blind you to the way things really are. Evidence contrary to the belief can be staring you straight in the face, and you won't see it... True believers just don't see things the way they are, because if they did, they wouldn't be true believers anymore. Philip Caputo
Steig Larsson quote: "No, I don't believe in God, but I respect the fact that you..."
No, I don't believe in God, but I respect the fact that you do. Everyone has to have something to believe in. Steig Larsson
I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no shadow unless there is also light. Margaret Atwood
Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable. You don't need to do that because you know it already. And when you doubt it? which happens, I think, quite often at this stage of evolution? do as I suggested. Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to... Paulo Coelho
I love you, and because I love you I believe in you. But if I did not believe, still should I love. Had you come back for me, and had there been no other way, I would have gone into the jungle with you - forever. Edgar Rice Burroughs
It is a contradiction in terms and ideas, to call anything a revelation that comes to us at second-hand, either verbally or in writing. Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication; after this, it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it cannot be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner; for it was not a revelation made to me, and I have only his word for it that it... Thomas Paine
