I know that war and mayhem run in our blood. I refuse to believe that they must dominate our lives. We humans are animals, too, but animals with amazing powers of rationality, morality, society. We can use our strength and courage not to savage each other, but to defend our highest purposes.

There are many deaf people who couldn't imagine living in a marriage without someone who doesn't speak their language. For me, I believe that hearing or deaf is fine as long as both parties are willing to communicate in each other's language.

I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing.
I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.

I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me.
Promise me you'll always remember: you're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Many believe — and I believe — that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.
