things worth believing in

In the movie Secondhand Lions, Uncle Hub teaches Walter an important lesson:

"If you want to believe in something, believe in it. Just because something isn't true, that's no reason you can't believe in it. Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most: that people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and, I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. Remember that, boy, remember that. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in."
