Our belief or disbelief of a thing does not alter the
nature of the thing. --Tillotson.
[1913 Webster]
No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own
littleness that disbelief in great men. --Carlyle.
Syn: Distrust; unbelief; incredulity; doubt; skepticism. --
Disbelief, Unbelief. Unbelief is a mere failure to
admit; disbelief is a positive rejection. One may be an
unbeliever in Christianity from ignorance or want of
inquiry; a unbeliever has the proofs before him, and
incurs the guilt of setting them aside. Unbelief is
usually open to conviction; disbelief is already
convinced as to the falsity of that which it rejects.
Men often tell a story in such a manner that we regard
everything they say with unbelief. Familiarity with the
worst parts of human nature often leads us into a
disbelief in many good qualities which really exist
among men.
