Lists of People - By Belief

Famous quotes containing the word belief:

“It seems, Euphranor..., that there is nothing so singularly absurd as we are apt to think, in the belief of mysteries; and that a man need not renounce his reason to maintain his religion. But if this were true, how comes it to pass, that, in proportion as men abound in knowledge, they dwindle in faith?”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)

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