Tell It Like It Is, Churchill
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning. Sir Winston Churchill
Just for the sake of being certain that I am not stripping myself of all sense and meaning, a few unreserved assertions:
I believe our culture lies more than it tells the truth.
I believe that society does not make the man, but that man makes the society.
I believe there is an order to the universe.
I believe "in the sun, even when it's not shining. I believe in love even when I don't feel it. And I believe in God even when He is silent."
I believe that a writer should never start a sentence with "I believe."
