The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given tous fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life.

Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.[Anne Frank] Quote:Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.[Albert Einstein] Quote:I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Those who believe they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Whoso loves believes the impossible.[Elizabeth Barrett Browning] Quote:That is the true season of love, when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will love in the same way after us.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.[Mark Twain] Quote:A man should believe in God through faith, not because of miracles.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Not everybody trusts paintings, but people believe photographs.[Ansel Adams] Quote:I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give.

After that, you may crush him.[Sun Tzu] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:To succeed, we must first believe that we can.[Michael Korda] Quote:A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.[James Feibleman] Quote:The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Eisenhower] Quote:Statistician: A man who believes figures don't lie, but admits that under analysis some of them won't stand up either.
