Pastoral Resources

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.

The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.

The belief may be too often mistaken, but the illusion of coming into direct contact with the past is intoxicating and persuasive, and can result in an interpretation that carries conviction. Sometimes confidence is all that's needed.

The belief is growing on me that the disease is communicated by the bite of the mosquito... She always injects a small quantity of fluid with her bite - what if the parasites get into the system in this manner.

I am much more radical in my beliefs than my products represent me to be.

Now, it's my belief that Python is a lot easier than to teach to students programming and teach them C or C++ or Java at the same time because all the details of the languages are so much harder. Other scripting languages really don't work very well there either.

For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.

My belief about acting in one foot on a banana peel and the other one in the grave.

My personal belief is that you carry your own water in a relationship. If you see a girl and you think she's hot, that's a very human reaction, but you don't go and tell your spouse that, you know? So in one way it's how you behave.

Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies for instance.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.

When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favour of the belief which he finds in himself.

Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

The same tools that make any writer good, plus a cheerful willingness to suspend belief.

Um, I have an enormous faith in God. I have an enormous support system that also has that same belief.

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

Both now and for always, I intend to hold fast to my belief in the hidden strength of the human spirit.
