Zealous men are ever displaying to you the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you the grounds of it.

My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.
My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat - or in film's case 'run on' - manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.
Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that's definitely a challenge.
Patriotism was a living fire of unquestioned belief and purpose.
Television is much more difficult because at every moment the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You're in a constant debate with a gun at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it's hard to win the arguments.
There arose a belief in style - and in banality. Banality encompassed politics, too, because it was a common belief that politics were not worthy of art.
Suggesting a married Jesus is one thing, but questioning the Resurrection undermines the very heart of Christian belief.
There are movies where actors aren't characters but movie stars, being cool beyond belief throughout the whole movie. That is what it is. And we reveal ourselves when we act, very often without noticing. But if I can manage to do a character without showing anything of myself, then that's the ultimate goal for me. No leakage.
More and more businesses are seeing the potential of a more sustainable business model, driven both by the firm belief that business can be a force for good and by the realization that the cost of inaction often exceeds the cost of action - notably when it comes to the growing threat of climate change and water scarcity.

I'm very strict in my belief that non-fiction should be truthful, and fiction is for invented narratives.
I've got this theory that human beings are innately religious; we have a belief system. It doesn't have to be a theist form, necessarily. But we need a belief system, some framework on which to hang our behavior.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.
Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
The truth is that relative income is not directly related to happiness. Nonpartisan social-survey data clearly show that the big driver of happiness is earned success: a person's belief that he has created value in his life or the life of others.
The Soviet Union had only one party. You couldn't express yourself freely; you couldn't admit belief in God.

All kids studied music automatically, just as they did maths or languages or sport.

Many people and governments share the mistaken belief that science, with new, ingenious devices and techniques, can rescue us from the troubles we face without our having to mend our ways and change our patterns of activity. This is not so.
Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
Enthusiasm and misplaced belief can take you a long way.
Faith means intense, usually confident, belief that is not based on evidence sufficient to command assent from every reasonable person.
