Sentiment: POSITIVE
One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.
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.
Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in.
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.
Belief is thought at rest.
Belief systems thrive in circumstances of collision. They are energized by their opposites.
The essence of belief is the establishment of a habit; and different beliefs are distinguished by the different modes of action to which they give rise.
The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Faith itself is a horrible mechanism that stunts the growth of ideas. It also stunts the act of questioning, and it does this by pushing the idea that you have to have faith - and that nothing has to be proven.
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.
