Martin Heidegger Quotes

Belief is nothing but a more vivid, lively, forcible, firm, steady conception of an object, than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.

Who never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt is, there truth is - it is her shadow.

Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.

To believe is to be strong. Doubt cramps energy. Belief is power.

All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions. The man strongly possessed of an idea is the master of all who are uncertain or wavering. Clear, deep, living convictions rule the world.

Make definite assertions. Avoid tame, colorless, hesitating, non-committal language.

I am never afraid of what I know.

He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch.

One must verify or expel his doubts, and convert them into the certainty of Yes or NO.

Faith is the confidence, the assurance, the enforcing truth, the knowing.

Faith is Doubt.

Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.

There's nothing like confidence.

I BELIEVE!!!!!!!" - Johnny

It's unbelievable to me how sure people can be of themselves.

A lot of people need an infusion of confidence.

Believe it!

Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses...what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.

Question: What is the opposite of faith? Not disbelief. Too final, certain, closed. Itself is a kind of belief. Doubt.

To believe is to be happy; to doubt is to be wretched. To believe is to be strong. Doubt cramps energy. Belief is power. Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do any thing that is worth the doing.

Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. But trust is firm belief; it is faith in full bloom. Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware.

Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.

Belief is when your whole being is set to act as if something is so.

Certitude is not the test of certainty.
