The power of belief gives legitimacy to whatever may be necessary.

About This Quote

This quote is a popular saying, and one that may seem to make sense. But the fact is that the power of belief can sometimes be used to justify actions that are morally wrong or unjust. People who are angry at the world, at the government, at people in general, are not likely to think about what they are doing. They are simply angry, and their anger will lead them to shameful actions. To justify these actions, they will often say that their beliefs demand it.
