The moving and powerful first-person essays in this book explore the core beliefs and guiding principles by which Americans live. Filled with valuable insights distilled from a wide range of personal experiences, This I Believe: Life Lessons is a perfect gift--for others or for yourself.
The turning points in my life have not been the times I succeeded at something, but the times I've whispered, 'I'm lost, ' or 'Help me, ' or 'I need a friend.' I believe sometimes our vulnerability is our strength.
--Colin Bates, student and resident service assistant for people with mental disabilities
I believe you need to listen, carefully, to hear your inner voice. And then you have to do what it says.
--Christine Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey and former head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
I believe that saying no to some of life's shimmering pleasures buys me a moment of peace and a small sovereign patch where I can pause and ask what it is my heart truly desires. No is not deprivation, it's deliberation. No is not loss, it's freedom.
--Jessica Paris, educator
I have seen time and time again that when people find their commonalities, they are more likely to come together and become friends, even under the most stressful conditions. This I believe.
--Sgt. Maj. Larry Chaston (Ret.), Vietnam and Afghanistan veteran, and engineer
