“When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him.”

“Even our beliefs have become trend statements. We don’t even believe things because we believe them anymore. We only believe things because they are cool things to believe.”

“Beliefs are the roads we take to our dreams. Believe you can do something-or believe you can't-and you'll be right everytime.”

“Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement, and it becomes part of our belief system.”

“Do you believe in God?' Grace asked him. The question was not strange. They were past strangeness.'Of course' he replied. It was easier than the truth, simpler.'Why?''Because without God' he started, his voice slipping easily into the lilting rhythm of recitation, 'we have no reason to believe in reason. Without God, our reason is an accident of the cosmos, as ultimately inconsequential as the spinning of the planet or the pulling of the tides. Reason becomes unimportant, and hence untenable. Without God we have only belief, and yet we are left with nothing to believe in'.”

“Do not be astonished to see simple people believing without argument. God makes them love him and hate themselves. He inclines their hearts to believe. We shall never believe, with an effective belief and faith, unless God inclines our hearts.”
