A little reflection will show us that every belief even the simplest and most fundamental goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions.

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.

Martin Luther King Jr. didn't carry just a piece of cloth to symbolize his belief in racial equality he carried the American flag.

Effective use of Braille is as important to the blind as independent mobility knowledge in the use of adaptive technology and the core belief that equality opportunity and security are truly possible for all people who are blind.

Unless man is committed to the belief that all mankind are his brothers then he labors in vain and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality.

My efforts in Congress are guided by the belief that environmental preservation and restoration are a critical part of the legacy we leave to future generations.

And I know that the younger generation is doing things that are so ingenious. And for them it's not a matter of a political belief or an environmental stance. It's really just common sense.

I think through education belief in God and good engineering our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

One of the great mind destroyers of college education is the belief that if it's very complex it's very profound.

The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.
