“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts: but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
“He is no wise man that will quit a certainty for an uncertainty”
Samuel Johnson
“Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous.”
Voltaire
“Doubt is not a pleasant condition but certainty is an absurd one.”
“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd”
“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.”
Carlos Castaneda
“Doubt is to certainty as neurosis is to psychosis. The neurotic is in doubt and has fears about persons and things; the psychotic has convictions and makes claims about them. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions.”
