Colection Paint and Some Quote about belief

Robert Fulghum:
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

Sydney J. Harris:
An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.




Thomas Jefferson:
Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; Unbelief, in denying them.

Philip K. Dick:
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Michael Korda:
To succeed, we must first believe that we can.



Hannah Senesh:
One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.

George Orwell:
Myths which are believed in tend to become true.

G. K. Chesterton:
It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.

Frank Lloyd Wright:
The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

Edith Hamilton:
Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active.

Demosthenes:
Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.


Bertrand Russell:
What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

Anne Frank:
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.

Andre Gide:
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.



Anatole France:
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Alfred Korzybski:
There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking.
