Quotes

Quotes about doubt:


Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.





We know accurately only when we know little; with knowledge, doubt increases.





To be, or not to be, that is the question.





When in doubt, follow the suit of the wise and prudent.





But the most beautiful of all doubts
Is when the downtrodden and despondent raise their heads and
Stop believing in the strength
Of their oppressors.






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.











Quotes

Galileo Galilei also said...


Philosophy is written in this grand book, which stands continually open before our eyes (I say the Universe), but can not be understood without first learning to comprehend the language and know the characters as it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is impossible to humanly understand a word; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth.





I have never met a man so ignorant that I could not learn something from him.





The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.
