“You are what you believe yourself to be.”

“You are what you believe yourself to be.”

“Don’t explain. Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you.”

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” 

“There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it.” 

“beleive in yourself and the world will be at your feet” 

“All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.” 

“Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.” 

“I don’t believe in fate.”

“I am just a common man who is true to his beliefs.”

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.

I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown.

“Believe me, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is.” 

‘Tis curious that we only believe as deeply as we live.

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius.

Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. It is vain to hurry it. By trusting it to the end it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know why you believe.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.

We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.

Troubles are a blessing that force you to change, to believe.

I had to trust life and believe that life loved the person who dared to live it.
