– Belief Proverbs –<\/b><\/p>\n
Believe in what you can do and be not deterred by what others say.<\/strong> The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.<\/strong> The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs.<\/strong> It is the belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.<\/strong> We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.<\/strong> In order to succeed we must first believe that we can.<\/strong> What do I believe? As an American I believe in generosity, in liberty, in the rights of man. These are social and political faiths that are part of me, as they are, I suppose, part of all of us. Such beliefs are easy to express. But part of me too is my relation to all life, my religion. And this is not so easy to talk about. Religious experience is highly intimate and, for me, ready words are not at hand.<\/strong> Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.<\/strong> Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active.<\/strong> To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.<\/strong> Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier -certainly no more difficult – than small ideas and small plans.<\/strong> The depth of your belief and the strength of your conviction determines the power of your personality.<\/strong> You can change your beliefs so they empower your dreams and desires. Create a strong belief in yourself and what you want.<\/strong> In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.<\/strong> Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.<\/strong> Habits of thought persist through the centuries; and while a healthy brain may reject the doctrine it no longer believes, it will continue to feel the same sentiments formerly associated with that doctrine.<\/strong> The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.<\/strong> What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.<\/strong> The strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness is self-esteem: believing you can do it, believing you will get it.<\/strong> We are what we believe we are.<\/strong> Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that assures the successful outcome of any venture.<\/strong> Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.<\/strong> Believing requires action.<\/strong> Believe your beliefs and doubt your doubts.<\/strong> It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.<\/strong> A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea that possesses the mind.<\/strong> What a person believes is not as important as how a person believes.<\/strong> The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.<\/strong> Myths which are believed in tend to become true.<\/strong> There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking.<\/strong> Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.<\/strong> One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one’s life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.<\/strong> Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.<\/strong> He does not believe who does not live according to his belief.<\/strong> Nothing else matters much — not wealth, nor learning, nor even health — without this gift: the spiritual capacity to keep zest in living. This is the creed of creeds, the final deposit and distillation of all important faiths: that you should be able to believe in life.<\/strong> When you believe a thing, believe in it all the way.<\/strong> If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own.<\/strong> When you believe a thing, believe in it all the way.<\/strong> In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.<\/strong> I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.<\/strong> It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative.<\/strong> To succeed, we must first believe that we can.<\/strong> Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.<\/strong> Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; Unbelief, in denying them.<\/strong> I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge — myth is more potent than history — dreams are more powerful than facts — hope always triumphs over experience — laughter is the cure for grief — love is stronger than death.<\/strong> When men destroy their old gods they will find new ones to take their place.<\/strong> I always try to believe the best of everybody — it saves so much trouble.<\/strong> An idealist believes the short run doesn’t count. A cynic believes the long run doesn’t matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.<\/strong> The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.<\/strong> All religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest. Test each sect by its best or its worst as you will, by its high-water mark of virtue or its low-water mark of vice. But falsehood begins when you measure the ebb of any other religion against the flood-tide of your own. There is a noble and a base side to every history.<\/strong> A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.<\/strong> Belief in a certain series of myths was neither obligatory as a part of the true religion, nor was it supposed that, by believing, a man acquired religious merit and conciliated the favour of the gods.<\/strong> Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.<\/strong> We believe as much as we can. We would believe everything if we could.<\/strong> As long as people believe in absurdities, they will continue to commit atrocities.<\/strong> A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.<\/strong> Only barbarians are not curious about where they come from, how they came to be where they are, where they appear to be going, whether they wish to go there, and if so, why, and if not, why not.<\/strong> – Belief Proverbs – Believe in what you can do and be not deterred by what others say. ~ Jacob Gelt Dekker The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs. ~ James Lane Allen It is the belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable. ~ Maya Angelou We would accomplish many more things if <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[237,196],"class_list":["post-1794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-topics","tag-belief-proverbs","tag-golden-proverbs","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1794"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1877,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794\/revisions\/1877"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenproverbs.com\/testsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
