Famous quotes containing the word belief:

    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)

    Whenever a man acts purposively, he acts under a belief in some experimental phenomenon. Consequently, the sum of the experimental phenomena that a proposition implies makes up its entire bearing upon human conduct.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    Friendship is a common belief in the same fallacies, mountebanks and hobgoblins.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
