Quotations by Subject: Belief (23 quotes)

Results from Cole's Quotables:

One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life.: Etty Hilsum
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.: Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968), South Africa, 1966
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond the pain.: Bartholomew

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

It is [the] belief in absolutes, I would hazard, that is the great enemy today of the life of the mind. This may seem a rash proposition. The fashion of the time is to denounce relativism as the root of all evil. But history suggests that the damage done to humanity by the relativist is far less than the damage done by the absolutist - by the fellow who, as Mr. Dooley once put it, "does what he thinks th' Lord wud do if He only knew th' facts in th' case.": Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
If you were to destroy in mankind the belief in immortality, not only love but every living force maintaining the life of the world would at once be dried up. Moreover, nothing then would be immoral, everything would be permissible, even cannibalism.: Brothers Karamazov, Pt 1, Bk i, Ch 6
Why is it that we entertain the belief that for every purpose odd numbers are the most effectual?: Pliny the Elder (23 AD - 79 AD)
If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.: James Thurber (1894 - 1961)
The Godless would deny and destroy human rights .... the liberties of a nation cannot be secure when belief in God is abandoned.: U.S. Senate Chaplain Richard Halverson
Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, "There is something not right," no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code.: Carl G. Jung, in the introduction to Frances G. Wickes' "Analysis der Kinderseele" (The Inner World of Childhood), 1931
Contrary to popular belief, English women do not wear tweed nightgowns.: Hermione Gingold
