Famous quotes containing the word belief:
“In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.”

“We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
To teach belief in good and still devotion,
To preach of heaven’s wonders and delights—
Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“The belief of our Reason is an Exercise of Faith, and Faith is an Act of Reason.”
—Joseph Glanvill (1636–1680)
