I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it

But Kinky Friedman comes across as No. 1 on my belief list.

I believe God himself will someday debate with and answer every objection arrogant men can come up with against him; I believe he will humble us and humor himself. Know-it-alls, pseudo-intellectuals, militant anti-theists, for Christ’s...

…eating is the purest mode of consumption. Our purchases are statements about our social class, our friends, and our beliefs. Buying something as continually necessary as food is an ongoing act of self-definition.

Ironically, the only people anyone believes these days are the skeptics.

God is like an umbrella of illusion and belief, In rainy days we use him, in sunny days we forget him.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that’s totally nonsense.

We both believe, and disbelieve a hundred times an hour, which keeps believing nimble.

The more success you have, the more belief you have in what you have to do to be successful. The key piece to the puzzle is that you understand what it takes for you to...

The difference between people lies within their beliefs.

The material world is simply an expression of the mind; that’s what so many fail to see. We’re so dependent on what is before us that we discount our intuition. Yet if one dismisses instinct,...
