Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:
“Love is too prone to trust. Would I could think
My charges false and all too rashly made.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
