I'm a great believer in people and their untapped potential. (Alfred Bester)

There is presumably a calendar date - a moment - when the onus of proof passed from the atheist to the believer, when, quite suddenly, secretly, the noes had it.

Tom Stoppard

I'm not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I've never won one has nothing to do with it at all!

Iain Banks

What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.

Ralph Bakshi

I have never dreamt of contesting the Church her right to remain faithful to herself, meaning to the commandments that come from Doctrine... but that she expects to impose these commandments upon me who do not have the good fortune of being a believer, trying to pour them into civil law in a way that they become obligatory even to us non-believers, is it right? To me it doesn't seem so.

Indro Montanelli

Nobody gets argued all the way into becoming a believer on the sheer basis of logic and reason. That requires a leap of faith.

Francis Collins

I'm a huge believer in evolution (not in the sense that "it happened" – anybody who doesn't believe that is either uninformed or crazy, but in the sense "the processes of evolution are really fundamental, and should probably be at least thought about in pretty much any context").

Linus Torvalds

I am a great believer rather than the popular scientific way of dealing with things that 'Nothing exists unless you can prove it'. I am pretty much the other way that pretty much anything can exist unless you can disprove it.

Anthony Stewart Head

A young man who had been troubling society with impalpable doctrines of a new civilization which he called "the Kingdom of Heaven" had been put out of the way; and I can imagine that believer in material power murmuring as he went homeward, "it will all blow over now." Yes. The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet.

George William Russell

There are those who deny me the right to speak of God, because I am not a believer. And I say that I have every right in the world. I want to talk about God because it is a problem that affects all humanity.

José Saramago

But a faithful believer will in all circumstances mediate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God. (John Calvin)

I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some words got me into trouble and others got me out.

Katherine Dunn

Some believers are fundamentalists about everything, but every believer is a fundamentalist about something.

Jerry Coyne

The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.

Dwight L. Moody

I am a firm believer in living as if there were no such thing as a secret. If we hide our sins and live in darkness, we will never get the healing we so desperately need; in fact, if it is hidden so well that we don't even recognize it, we may never even find forgiveness.

Ted Haggard

I am a believer in liberty. That is my religion - to give to every other human being every right that I claim for myself, and I grant to every other human being, not the right - because it is his right - but instead of granting I declare that it is his right, to attack every doctrine that I maintain, to answer every argument that I may urge - in other words, he must have absolute freedom of speech.

Robert G. Ingersoll

If I convert it's because it's better that a believer dies than that an atheist does.

A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves. The fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness and dishonesty. There is a wall of words between his consciousness and his real self.

Eric Hoffer

For though ours is a godless age, it is the very opposite of irreligious.

And whether we are to line up with him or against him, it is well that we should know all we can concerning his nature and potentialities.

Eric Hoffer

Faith has its price. When misfortune strikes the true believer, he assumes he has done something to deserve punishment, but isn't quite certain what. The realist, recognizing that he lives in a Darwinian universe, is simply grateful to have made it to another sunset. (Jack McDevitt)

As a child walking over a slippery and dangerous path cries out, "Father, I am falling!" and has but a moment to catch his father's hand, so every believer sees hours when only the hand of Jesus comes between him and the abysses of destruction.

Theodore L. Cuyler

I'm a believer in God, but that doesn't mean I don't get angry.

Bono

The atheist staring from his attic window is often nearer to God than the believer caught up in his own false image of God.
