The first step to believing something is true is wanting to believe it is true... or being afraid it is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.
Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God, the fallible words of men, or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.
First we have to believe, and then we believe.
Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.
It is better to be true to what you believe, though that be wrong, than to be false to what you believe, even if that belief is correct.
Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.
When you work really hard for something for a long time it's almost impossible to believe that it's coming true.
To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.
As one may bring himself to believe almost anything he is inclined to believe, it makes all the difference whether we begin or end with the inquiry, 'What is truth?'
Believing in something and being a part of something you believe in and watching it work and coming from it.
