I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

We have a shared mission around poverty, and I focus on that, because we do a lot with the Catholic Church around poverty alleviation. I'm always looking for: what is the common thread? What do we care about? What do we believe in? We believe in women around the world. We believe in all lives have equal value.
Melinda GatesI think that to believe is to acknowledge that it's a choice in that present tense and that doubt is always an option. Youโre not dealing with a fact like one plus one equals twoโIโm gonna choose to believe that. Itโs kind of one of those things where you are choosing to believe that someone loves you. That is always going to be your choice. So for me, I think thatโs what makes the faith that I have volatile and explosive and dangerous and troubling. Thatโs what most of my songs are about.
Jon ForemanI believe in absolute freedom of conscience for all men and equality of all churches, all sects and all beliefs before the law as a matter of right and not as a matter of favor.

The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums.

And in that way he was very close to H.P. Lovecraft, who was almost a believing atheist.
Paul LaffoleyIn my understanding of God I start with certain firm beliefs. One is that the laws of nature are not broken. We do not, of course, know all these laws yet, but I believe that such laws exist. I do not, therefore, believe in the literal truth of some miracles which are featured in the Christian Scriptures, such as the Virgin Birth or water into wine. ... God works, I believe, within natural laws, and, according to natural laws, these things happen.

So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing, and I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.

Dean L. LarsenIf you can't see that the glass is half full, you can never be a socialist. You have to believe in the goodness of the majority of people to be a socialist.

If you don't believe that, and if you think that the glass is always half empty, then you're never going to have that sensibility.
