Believed Quotes (page 37)

If a mother is mourning not for what she has lost but for what her dead child has lost, it is a comfort to believe that the child has not lost the end for which it was created. And it is a comfort to believe that she herself, in losing her chief or only natural happiness, has not lost a greater thing, that she may still hope to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever." A comfort to the God-aimed, eternal spirit within her. But not to her motherhood. The specifically maternal happiness must be... C. S. Lewis
In this sad world of ours sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement. Abraham Lincoln
I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up. George Carlin
I believe our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. I believe that whenever a human being, of even the highest intelligence and culture, delivers an opinion upon a matter apart from his particular and especial line of interest, training and experience, it will always be an opinion of so foolish and so valueless a sort that it can be depended upon to suggest our Heavenly Father that the human being is another disappointment and that he is no considerable... Mark Twain

The real reason why so few men believe in God is that they have ceased to believe that even a God can love them. Thomas Merton
British astronomer Fred Hoyle said something to this effect: That believing in Darwin's theoretical mechanisms of evolution was like believing that a hurricane could blow through a junkyard and build a Boeing 747 Kurt Vonnegut
A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it. Albert Einstein
Madeleine Albright quote: "I do not believe that things happen accidentally; I believe..."
I do not believe that things happen accidentally; I believe you earn them. Madeleine Albright
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "What is essential, therefore, is not that you no longer..."
What is essential, therefore, is not that you no longer believe, but that God continues to believe in you. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
My teacher in first grade said that long ago people used to believe all kinds of things, because they didn't know any better. Like you shouldn't take a bath, because it could make you sick. And then someone saw germs under a microscope and started to think differently. You can believe something really hard, and still be wrong. (Faith White) Jodi Picoult
It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening. H. G. Wells
John McCain quote: "I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often..."
I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough, it will be believed. John McCain
It must be something voluntary, something self induced - like getting drunk, or talking yourself into believing some piece of foolishness because it happens to be in the Scriptures. And then look at their idea of what's normal. Believe it or not, a normal human being is one who can have an orgasm and is adjusted to society. It's unimaginable! No question about what you do with your orgasms. No question about the quality of your feelings and thoughts and perceptions. And then what about... Aldous Huxley
It is better to believe in men too rashly, and regret, than believe too meanly. Men could be more than they are, if they would try for it. He has shown them that. Mary Renault
There is no monopoly of common sense. On either side of the political fence. We share the same biology. Regardless of ideology. Believe me when I say to you. I hope the Russians love their children too[...]There's no such thing as a winnable war. It's a lie we don't believe anymore ..."(The Russians) Sting
