To believe in something and not live it is dishonest.

A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, nevertheless they give up their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it, and then it’s gone. But to surrender what you are, and live without belief - that’s more terrible than dying—more terrible than dying young.

Unless you believe you will not understand.

Historians relate, not so much what is done, as what they would have believed.

I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.

Man is a mental being, and to know this is the first step on the road to freedom, for as long as you believe yourself to be primarily physical, you will remain in bondage, that is to say, to your own habits of thought, for there is no other bondage.

Nothing can now be believed which is seen in the newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

And then she understood the devilish cunning of the enemies’ plan. By mixing a little truth with it they had made their lie far stronger.

Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever.

If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

Sleep that masters all.

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.

I have met men who are habitual liars. They have lied so long that they no longer can distinguish between the truth and a lie. Their sensitivity to sin has been almost completely deadened.

No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.

People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked.

It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say "I don't know."

I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.

Freedom of information is a fundamental human right...for a nation that is afraid to let its people to judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world.
