I believe no chef becomes what he becomes without having many people influence him.

‐‐ Najib Mikati
I believe nobody should be discriminated against.

I believe now that I've cemented my spot as the best swimmer in the world, and I can't describe how proud that makes me. I just want to keep working hard and hopefully just inspire more youngsters to keep swimming and encourage South Africans to become a winning nation.

I believe orders should be obeyed, but sometimes you have to think about the orders you get.
‐‐ Ariel Sharon
I believe our basic information, our 'software', should be free and open for everyone to play with, to compete with, to try and make products from. I do not believe it should be under the control of one person.

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
‐‐ Steve Irwin

I believe our emotional tension can manifest itself physically.

I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.
‐‐ John Thune
I believe our foreign assistance should be scrutinized, should be debated, and that we should strike the right balance, but in all cases the foreign assistance that we provide around the world should be used to further our national security interests.
‐‐ John Sununu
I believe our health care system is in drastic need of innovative, patient-centered reforms that encourage competition and increase consumer choice, not the bloated bureaucracy, tax increases, rationing, and mandates in the president's government takeover.

I believe our inability to achieve victory stems mainly from having lost sight as a nation of what it means to win.
‐‐ Michael T. Flynn
I believe our legacy will be defined by the accomplishments and fearless nature by which our daughters and sons take on the global challenges we face. I also wonder if perhaps the most lasting expression of one's humility lies in our ability to foster and mentor our children.
‐‐ Naveen Jain
I believe our philosophy of conscious capitalism will eventually be widely adopted primarily because it is a better way to do business, and it creates more total value in the world for all of its stakeholders.
‐‐ John Mackey
I believe passionately in preemptive pessimism, especially before a book comes out. I expect the worst both from reviewers and sales, and then, with any luck, I may be proved wrong.
‐‐ Antony Beevor
I believe passionately that everyone has a particular God-given ability.
‐‐ Prince Charles
I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief.
‐‐ Jesse Ventura
I believe people are afraid to be still because we're used to being stimulated.
‐‐ Michael W. Smith
I believe people are fundamentally good and want to find things that make life better for themselves. There are social dynamics for people that work, and there are ones that are pathological. But beneath every 'no' lays a 'yes' that had never been broken. I put my life-faith in that.

I believe people may have a predisposition for artistic creativity. It doesn't mean they're going to make it.
‐‐ Rita Dove
I believe people should live full lives and not settle for anything less.
‐‐ Jack Canfield
I believe people think as a group more often than we might realize or care to admit. We like to believe that we act as individuals and nothing more, but time and again - in corporations and business, in politics and religion, in fashion and culture, and in friendships and social circles - we think and do as one.
