Famous quotes containing the word belief:

—C.S. (Clive Staples)

“An unlicked bear”
—Trans. by Johanna Prins.

Dutch expression meaning “a boor”: from the old belief that bear cubs are licked into shape by their mothers.

“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
