Lewis] Quote:The major parties could conduct live human sacrifices on their podiums during prime time, and I doubt that anybody would notice.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.[Mark Twain] Quote:Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.[Colin Powell] Quote:Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:When in doubt, do it.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.[Margaret Mead] Quote:What we humans are is really a remarkable thing. How can you doubt that we will survive and mature? There may be a lot of wisdom in the old statement about looking on the world lovingly.

Tolkien] Quote:To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.[Rene Descartes] Quote:If you don't know what to do with many of the papers piled on your desk, stick a dozen colleagues' initials on 'em, and pass them along. When in doubt, route.[Malcolm Forbes] Quote:Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche -- a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true. [Solomon Short] Quote:Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:When in doubt, tell the truth. [Mark Twain] Quote:To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man. [Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.] Quote:Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. [Edward Gibbon] Quote:We think having faith means being convinced God exists in the same way we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely convinced of God?s existence think faith is impossible for them. Not so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the more heroic your faith. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:Doubt 'til thou canst doubt no more...doubt is thought and thought is life. Systems which end doubt are devices for drugging thought. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
