~ There is an objective reality out there, but we view it through the spectacles of our beliefs, attitudes, and values. ~ ~ Literary critics, however, frequently suffer from a curious belief that every author longs to extend the boundaries of literary art, wants to explore new dimensions of the human spirit, and if he doesn't, he should be ashamed of himself. ~ ~ A man's moral worth is not measured by what his religious beliefs are but rather by what emotional impulses he has received from Nature during his lifetime ~ ~ By religion I mean a set of beliefs held as dogmas, dominating the conduct of life, going beyond or contrary to evidence, and inculcated by methods which are emotional or authoritarian, not intellectual ~ ~ Throughout the long period of religious doubt, I had been rendered very unhappy by the gradual loss of belief, but when the process was completed, I found to my surprise that I was quite glad to be done with the whole subject ~ ~ Leadership is much more an art, a belief, a condition of the heart, than a set of things to do. The visible signs of artful leadership are expressed, ultimately, in its practice. ~ ~ Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. ~ ~ Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible ~ ~ Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active. ~ ~ Faith is a living and unshakable confidence, a belief in the grace of God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake ~ ~ Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking. ~ ~ Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. ~ |
