I Believe Quotes (page 165)

I envied those who could believe in a God and I distrusted them. I felt they were keeping their courage up with a fable of the changeless and the permanent. Death was far more certain than God, and with death there would be no longer the possibility of love dying. Graham Greene
For, like almost everyone else in our country, I started out with my share of optimism. I believed in hard work and progress and action, but now, after first being 'for' society and then 'against' it, I assign myself no rank or any limit, and such an attitude is very much against the trend of the times. But my world has become one of infinite possibilities. What a phrase - still it's a good phrase and a good view of life, and a man shouldn't accept any other; that much I've learned... Ralph Ellison
Jodi Picoult quote: "It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells..."
It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it. Jodi Picoult
But in one thing I would go beyond strict orthodoxy - I am a convinced universalist. I believe that in the end all men will be gathered into the love of God. William Barclay
He had the unlucky capacity many men have of seeing and believing in the possibility of goodness and truth, but of seeing the evil and falsehood of life too clearly to take any serious part in it. Leo Tolstoy
George W. Bush quote: "I support same-sex civil unions and I believe no should be..."
I support same-sex civil unions and I believe no should be denied their rights George W. Bush
They believe themselves Lucifer's equals, Cain, all these pitiful little gnats. But there is only one that we have ever owned to be our superior. There is but one greater than us, and to him... to him we no longer speak. Neil Gaiman
They say that dogs may dream, and when Topsy was old, his feet would move in his sleep. With his eyes closed he would often make a noise that sounded quite human, as if greeting someone in his dreams. At first it seemed that he believed Sara would return, but as the years went by I understood that his loyalty asked for no reward, and that love comes in unexpected forms. His wish was small, as hers had been -- merely to be beside her. As for me, I already knew I would never get what I wanted. Alice Hoffman
The streets looked small, of course. The streets that we have only seen as children always do I believe when we go back to them Charles Dickens
Gentlemen, let us suppose that man is not stupid. (Indeed one cannot refuse to suppose that, if only from the one consideration, that, if man is stupid, then who is wise?) But if he is not stupid, he is monstrously ungrateful! Phenomenally ungrateful. In fact, I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped. Fyodor Dostoevsky
If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. Focus only on the moments when you achieved what you desired, and that strength will help you to get what you want. Paulo Coelho
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. Albert Einstein
Anne Lamott quote: "[S]he believed that the Buddhists were right–that if you want,..."
[S]he believed that the Buddhists were right–that if you want, you will suffer; if you love, you will grieve. (68) Anne Lamott
So this is what I am. Pondering his eyes that could not. Conceive that I was a creature to run from. I who have always believed too much in words W. S. Merwin
Anne Frank quote: "Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart."
Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart. Anne Frank
