I believe that some of us who were kept by God a long while before we found Him love Him better perhaps than we should have done if we had received Him directly, and we can preach better to others - we can speak more of His loving-kindness and tender mercy.
‐‐ Charles Spurgeon
I believe that sooner or later we're going to have to deal with Saddam Hussein, because of his general reputation, because of what I'm convinced he's done with regard to terrorism and the support thereof. But I'm not at all sure I believe that it has to be right now.
‐‐ Lawrence Eagleburger
I believe that States should be credited for their non-Federal investment in revenue-generating transportation facilities to address their regional transportation needs.
‐‐ Michael Burgess
I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.
‐‐ Neil Gaiman
I believe that stories find writers, writers don't find stories. With the 'Pendragon' series, I actually had multiple story ideas and decided that instead of writing them individually, I would create a character whose journey would thread them all together.
‐‐ D. J. MacHale
I believe that stress is a factor in any bad health.
‐‐ Christopher Shays
I believe that successfully addressing our national security needs while protecting our basic freedoms and civil liberties requires continual Congressional oversight, and I will continue to work to assert the role of this body in carrying out this grave responsibility.
‐‐ Patrick J. Kennedy
I believe that summer is our time, a time for the people, and that no politician should be allowed to speak to us during the summer. They can start talking again after Labor Day.
‐‐ Lewis Black
I believe that the American administration of Iraq has been arrogant, has pursued policies that are illegal in international law and has been ignorant and incompetent. I said this very forthrightly to the senators.
‐‐ Juan Cole
I believe that the American audience is not so dumb that they wouldn't be interested in a black story.
‐‐ Euzhan Palcy
I believe that the appearance of God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, in 1820 to Joseph Smith unlocked the heavens not only to the great spiritual knowledge revealed in this dispensation but also to secular knowledge.
‐‐ James E. Faust
I believe that the Apple Shuffle is an excellent compromise among the conflicting requirements of simplicity, elegance, size, battery life, and function.
‐‐ Donald Norman
I believe that 'The Artist' is the kind of movie you see and you don't forget. I know it's going to stay with me.
‐‐ Judy Blume
I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live.
‐‐ Sol LeWitt
I believe that the average guy in the street will give up a great deal, if he really understands the cost of not giving it up. In fact, we may find that, while we're drastically cutting our energy consumption, we're actually raising our standard of living.
‐‐ David R. Brower
I believe that the best cameraman is one who recognizes the source, the story, as the basis of his work.
‐‐ James Wong Howe
I believe that the best way to campaign is one-on-one with people.
‐‐ Martin O'Malley
I believe that the best way to help people understand the world is to provide them with opportunities to actively explore, experiment, and express themselves.
‐‐ Mitchel Resnick
I believe that the biggest problem that humanity faces is an ego sensitivity to finding out whether one is right or wrong and identifying what one's strengths and weaknesses are.
‐‐ Ray Dalio
I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.
‐‐ Howard Gardner
I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.
‐‐ Margaret J. Wheatley
I believe that the capital of the Republic of Albania is a suitable venue for discussing the dialogue among religions and civilizations, notably in the countries of South East Europe, because we are well familiar with this country's track record of religious tolerance.
‐‐ Georgi Parvanov
I believe that the Chinese people as a whole love to make investments in real estate.
‐‐ Pansy Ho
I believe that the confidence of Hungary in me is not shaken by misfortune nor broken by my calumniators.
‐‐ Lajos Kossuth
I believe that the 'dark night of the soul' is a common spiritual experience. I believe, too, that the answer is continued seeking and perseverance. It helps to know that others have endured a loss of faith.
‐‐ Julia Cameron
I believe that the day one stops being spiritual, one ends up being religious. I live by the adage that the only certainty in life is death. We should, therefore, learn to live for the day and be content.
‐‐ Ashwin Sanghi
I believe that the death penalty is an effective penalty.
‐‐ Loretta Lynch
I believe that the decisions which govern all our lives, the laws we must all obey, and the taxes we must all pay should be decided by people we choose and who we can throw out if we want change.
‐‐ Michael Gove
I believe that the development of language - of naming, categorization, conceptualization - destroys our ability to see as we age.
‐‐ Chris Ware
I believe that the director is really the soul. It is a collaborative effort, but the director is the one who needs to have that vision. It could be a great script, but it starts from there. You need to have good material, at least, but if you don't have someone with vision, it's just words.
‐‐ Michelle Yeoh
I believe that the dissolution of a marriage comes about by the breaking down of self-esteem.
‐‐ Dixie Carter
I believe that the dysfunctional Muslim family constitutes a real threat to the very fabric of western life. It is in the family that children are groomed to practise, promote and pass on the norms of their parents' culture.
‐‐ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I believe that the end of things man-made cannot be very far away - must be near at hand.
‐‐ John Harvey Kellogg
I believe that the essence of marriage is choosing someone who loves you for who you are, embraces everything about you, and building a life with that person. Whether that life is with children or without children - it's honestly immaterial to building a life with someone that you love fully.
‐‐ Aisha Tyler
I believe that the fact and the reality of homosexuality and heterosexuality and of opposite and same-gender unions should be taught in our public schools without a value judgement system also being offered.
‐‐ Ed Case
I believe that the family unit has fundamentally been the most positive thing for society, and I don't believe that any minority has the right to create changes that impact on the majority.
‐‐ Stephen Baldwin
I believe that the far-right and the far-left can be equally insane - but there's no question that in the first years of the Obama administration, the far-right has been far crazier. In part, this comes from parties being out of power - without the responsibility of governing to ground them, the activists and the ideologues take over.
‐‐ John Avlon
I believe that the federal government, like a raging river, has expanded upon the barriers and the boundaries of its banks, and unfortunately, it is flooding all of America with its encroachment.
‐‐ Steve Southerland
I believe that the fight against crime starts in the home. Parents must take responsibility for their children and show them love and guidance from an early age so they learn to respect the rights of others.
‐‐ Blanche Lincoln
I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.
‐‐ Dirk Benedict
I believe that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act must be reformed. We must improve the American public's confidence in, and perception of, our national security programs, by increasing transparency, strengthening oversight, and safeguarding civil liberties.
‐‐ Dutch Ruppersberger
I believe that the Framers of the Constitution made their intent clear when they wrote the First Amendment. I believe they wanted to keep the new government from endorsing one religion over another, not erase the public consciousness or common faith.
‐‐ Nick Rahall
I believe that the freedom of speech should be protected, but so should a family's right to privacy as they grieve their loss. There is a time and a place for vigorous debate on the War on Terror, but during a family's last goodbye is not it.
‐‐ Dave Reichert
I believe that the future is determined by the great public universities. They educate 80 percent of the students and make the American Dream available.
‐‐ Gordon Gee
I believe that the future of humanity is in the progress of reason through science. I believe that the pursuit of truth, through science, is the divine ideal which man should propose to himself.
‐‐ Emile Zola
I believe that the great majority of people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their family. But we need to control our border.
‐‐ Jeb Bush
I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.
‐‐ Edward Hopper
I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.
‐‐ Billy Graham
I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.
‐‐ Joyce Meyer
