Famous quotes containing the word believes:

    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    A man calumniated is doubly injured—first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.
    Herodotus (c. 484–425 B.C.)

    The Transcendentalist adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspiration, and in ecstacy.
