I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts
That hope always triumphs over experience
That laughter is the only cure for grief
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

adapts himself to the world;

Somehow I can’t believe
that there are any heights that can’t be scaled
by a man who knows the secrets
of making dreams come true.
This special secret, it seems to me,
can be summarized in four Cs. They are
curiosity, confidence, courage and constancy,
and the greatets of all is confidence.
When you believe in a thing,
believe in it all the way,
implicitly and unquestionably.

The secret of making something work in your life is,
first of all, the deep desire to make it work;
then the faith to and belief that it can work;
then to hold that clear, definite vision
in your consciousness
and see it working out step by step,
without one thought of doubt or disbelief.

— Eileen Caddy

Do not believe in anything
simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything
simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything
simply because it is written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely
on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have
been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and benefit
of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

— The Buddha

Whatever you want in life,
other people are going to want it too.
Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea
that you have an equal right to it.

If you believe everything you read,
better not read.

If you are anticipating the worst
while hoping for the best,
you will get the worst.
The things that happen to you
are in direct accordance with the things
wherein you place your faith.
Believe you are licked — and you are.

Most of our so-called reasoning
consists in finding arguments
for going on believing as we already do.

we must not only act, but also dream;
