“One of the most common and most dangerous misbeliefs is that it is impossible for someone to be stupid just because they are a doctor or a lawyer.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Some men are so indoctrinated that they sincerely believe that other than cooking and cleaning the only thing that a woman can do better than them is being a woman.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Some social ills are preserved by the common misbelief that things such as ignorance, greed, and stupidity do not have the stamina required to reach old age.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“One of the leading causes of obesity is the misbelief that, when it comes to juice, â€�100%â€� means ‘sugar-free.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“The second most dangerous thing about money is that it leaves most of the people who have a lot of it with the unshakable belief that they are intelligent and well informed. The most dangerous thing about it is that it leaves most of the people who do not have a lot of money with the very same belief.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Nothing holds back human progress as frequently as the misbelief that the words ‘impossibleâ€� and ‘improbableâ€� are synonyms.”

“The world nowadays is so perverted. Some people think I'm insane only because they don't understand my point of view.”
― Mario Fingarov

“The most important thing you can do to increase your self-control is to identify the misbeliefs in the words you tell yourself. Then argue against those misbeliefs. Never let yourself get away with misbelief talk. Use determination and energy in arguing and refusing each misbelief with the truth. You can be self-controlled in every area of your life. People who exercise self-control have discovered a major key to living fulfilled lives. Laziness, apathy and lethargy, avoiding responsibility, are not inroads to happiness and the fulfilled life. It is not surprising that when a person complains of lack of self-control the accompanying complaints are discontent, guilt, deep dissatisfaction with life, and a lack of self-confidence. Self-control, a fruit of the Spirit, will become a part of your life as you diligently cultivate it, as you reject discouragement, and as you teach yourself to reward yourself for your successes. “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not,â€� Paul tells us in Galatians 6:9. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you. With God, nothing is impossible. Sometimes things may seem difficult, but with the Lord as your helper, strength and guide, it’s not impossible. You can shout to the whole world, “‘Greater is he [the Holy Spirit] that is in me than he [the devil who tempts me to sin] that is in the world.â€� Therefore, I can be and am a self-controlled person!”

“Thinking that someone is wrong is a very common way of being wrong.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Where men are heated by zeal and enthusiasm, there is no degree of human testimony so strong as may not be procured for the greatest absurdity.

- Of Miracles”
― David Hume, The Age of Enlightenment: An anthology of eighteenth-century texts: Volume 1

“The individual journey that people take down the funnel of misbelief reflects a societal journey into mistrust. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, and no matter where you are in the world (with the possible exception of Scandinavia), it is hard to escape the ways in which our society's level of trust is decreasing, with alarming consequences.”
― Dan Ariely, Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things

“Delusion is the greatest barrier of humanity..”
― Simran Shah Khan

“I am not a titleholder; I don't steal; I don't lie...”
― Ljupka Cvetanova, The New Land

“People who simply live their life and care only about bearing children are under the influence of a misbelief that they are people”
― Sunday Adelaja

“Our misbeliefs often make it impossible for us to realize, and/or to accept, some facts.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“As human beings we are not doomed to a cold, emotionless, machine-like existence. We are creatures throbbing with mental, emotional and physical energy. Once we yank out the irrationalities and lies from our thoughts and replace them with the truth, we can lead satisfying, rich and fulfilling emotional lives.

It is not, however, events either past or present which make us feel the way we feel, but our interpretation of those events. Our feelings are not caused by the circumstances of our long-lost childhood or the circumstances of the present. Our feelings are caused by what we tell ourselves about our circumstances, whether in words or in attitudes.

What we tell ourselves can be either (1) truth or (2) lie. If you tell yourself untruths or lies, you will believe untruths and lies. If you tell yourself you’re a dumb jerk who can’t do anything right, you’ll believe it. If you believe something, you’ll act as though you believe it. That’s why your beliefs and misbeliefs are the most important factors of your mental and emotional life.”
― William Backus, Telling Yourself the Truth

“Sometimes the truth is way more comforting than the misbelief or the lie from which we derive comfort.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“It is not God who enslaves us. Rather, it is our misperception that God enslaves us that enslaves us.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
