Lists of People - By Belief

Famous quotes containing the word belief:

“It seems certain, that though a man, in a flush of humour, after intense reflection on the many contradictions and imperfections of human reason, may entirely renounce all belief and opinion, it is impossible for him to persevere in this total scepticism, or make it appear in his conduct for a few hours.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“It suggested, too, that the same experience always gives birth to the same sort of belief or religion.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
