The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Belief creates the actual fact.
Belief is such a powerful thing - but because it is, it can also be very destructive and it's very easily manipulated.
Belief is not restricted to a brief affirmation based on imitation; rather, it has degrees and stages of development. It is like a seed growing into a fully grown, fruit-bearing tree; like the sun's image in a mirror or in a drop of water to its images on the sea's surface and to the sun itself.
Science rests on reason and experiment, and can meet an opponent with calmness; but a belief is always sensitive.
Belief is so valuable and living that it infuses with life everything it enters! It transforms the fleeting glimmer of transitory life into eternal life, dispelling the transience in it.
Belief is thought at rest.
What you hear repeatedly you will eventually believe.
Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking.
Belief fails when it works not well indeed but is idle as a sleeping man... Each virtuous deed is strong when it is grounded upon the solidity of belief.
Belief is nothing but a more vivid, lively, forcible, firm, steady conception of an object, than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.
