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.

We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing; then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.

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.

It is with this as with religion: one usually believes what he has been taught.

Belief is such a powerful thing - but because it is, it can also be very destructive and it's very easily manipulated.

Belief is the death of intelligence.

Learning is finding out what you already know.

Belief creates the actual fact.
