I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.
Our scribblings are usually not lyrics but whirrings, without colour or resonance, like the tone of an engine-wheel. I believe that the cause lies in the fact that when people write, they forget for the most part to dig deeply into themselves and to feel the whole import and truth of what they are writing.
I believe we should utilise any power we have for important issues that are bigger and beyond us. Whether it's with refugees or working to educate kids. I don't think you need to have gone through a civil war to do something. I believe as human beings, we can look out for each other.
As CEO, I believe my most important job is to both define reality and inspire hope for the PayPal team. Defining reality includes being realistic about all the things that could go wrong so that we are prepared to navigate those challenges.
I really believe that you could do horror very inexpensively. I don't think it has anything to do with the effects, the effects are not the most important parts.
We believe that the government has an important role to create the conditions that promote entrepreneurship, upward mobility, and individual responsibility.

No matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe, it is both possible and, more importantly, it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort.
I believe life imprisonment is far worse than the death penalty.
A white woman with a camera in the Devadasi belt of Karnataka is not inconspicuous... it took time for these women to believe that I was not an official, carrying the threat of fine and imprisonment.
Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.
We really do believe that we can improve the world, one song at a time.
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence - only in constant improvement and constant change.
In the olden days, I believe Mozart also improvised on piano, but somehow in the last 200 years, the whole training of Western classical music - they don't read between the lines, they just read the lines.
If I told you all the people that have secretly told me I've influenced them, you'd never believe it, and you'll never see it in print, either.
I believe that things are always going to work out, even if in the beginning it doesn't look like they are working out. I know in the long run they are going to work out, and it's going to be fine.
There are those who believe in my innocence and those who believe in my guilt. There is no in-between.
I believe inanimate objects have a spirit.
Women are so powerful they're scary, and the incentive to squash this has been going on for so long that some of us actually believe we're subordinate.
I do believe in tax incentives in order to move the economy forward.
