Famous quotes containing the word belief:

    A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumour.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    The belief in immortality has always seemed cowardly to me. When very young I learned that all things die, and all that we wish of good must be won on this earth or not at all.
    Anne Smedley (c. 1894–1950)

    The want of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
