To believe with certainty we must begin with doubting. ~ Stanislaus I
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Stanislaus I
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
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Francis Bacon
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. ~ Thomas Szasz
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Thomas Szasz
One must verify or expel his doubts, and convert them into the certainty of Yes or NO. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The opposite of faith is not doubt, it's certainty. ~ Anne Lamott
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Anne Lamott
Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing absurdity. ~ Vaclav Havel
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Vaclav Havel
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. ~ Charles Bukowski
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Charles Bukowski
To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
It is beyond a doubt that during the sixteenth century, and the years immediately preceding and following it, poisoning had been brought to a pitch of perfection which remains unknown to modern chemistry, but which is indisputably proved by history. Italy, the cradle of modern science, was at that time, the inventor and mistress of these secrets, many of which are lost. ~ Honore De Balzac
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Honore De Balzac
All that the follower of Jesus has to do is to make sure that his obedience, following and love are entirely spontaneous and unpremeditated. If you do good, you must not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, you must be quite unconscious of it. Otherwise you are simply displaying your own virtue, and not that which has its source in Jesus Christ. Christ's virtue, the virtue of discipleship, can only be accomplished so long as you are entirely unconscious of what you are doing. The genuine work of love is always a hidden work. Take heed therefore that you know it not, for only so is it the goodness of God. If we want to know our own goodness or love, it has already ceased to be love. We must be unaware even of our love for our enemies. After all, when we love them they are no longer our enemies. This voluntary blindness in the Christan (which is really sight illuminated by Christ) is his certainty, and the fact that his life is hidden from his sight is the ground of his assurance. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Others too would occasionally entertain and privately express such doubts; though we all had been most solemnly warned by the cruel murder of Saint Francis. ~ Maria Monk
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Maria Monk
I learned that not only had he never been in a relationship, he had also never came out publicly as a gay man. But in a way, he'd had no reason to do so- he hadn't had sex in three-and-a-half decades, he told me. At first, I did not believe him; such a monk like existence- devoted solely to work, reading, writing, thinking- seemed at once awe-inspiring and inconceivable. He was without a doubt the most unusual person I had ever known, and before long I found myself not just falling in love with O; it was something more, something I had never experienced before. I adored him. ~ Bill Hayes
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Bill Hayes
When in doubt, be patient, and watch. ~ Robert Jackson Bennett
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Robert Jackson Bennett
A uniform cordoned off the area with crime scene tape. The M.E. pulled in and parked. There were two EMT trucks idling at the edge of the lot. I'd stayed close to the back door, and one of the Rangeman guys had taken a position two feet from me, standing at parade rest. No doubt in my mind he'd take a bullet for me rather than face Ranger over a dead Stephanie. ~ Janet Evanovich
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Janet Evanovich
I remember laughing at that moment, and I remember my son frowning at me in puzzlement. What I remember best of all, though, was the sudden certainty that the gods were with me, that they would fight for me, that my sword would be their sword. 'We're going to win,' I told my son. I felt as if Odin or Thor had touched me. I had never felt more alive and never felt more certain. I knew there would be no more mistakes and that this was no dream.
I had come to Bebbanburg and Bebbanburg would be mine. ~ Bernard Cornwell
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Bernard Cornwell
For to be overmindful of your debt is to doubt his generosity who has the free-hearted earth for mother, and God for father. ~ Kahlil Gibran
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Kahlil Gibran
We discover truth by asking rapier-like questions that cut through the thick fog of doctrinarism. Artists and philosophers must be subversive: we need these rebellious cynics to ask questions, they must resist cultural norms; seek out truths that are not self-evident and challenge everything. Doubt, not blind belief, is essential for discovering truth. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
The fact that there is nothing but a spiritual world deprives us of hope and gives us certainty. ~ Franz Kafka
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Franz Kafka
It's so much harder, when enemies turn into friends. And the opposite, I suppose. What didn't I see? What did I overlook or dismiss? It always makes me reassess myself more than them. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Gideon isn't for sale mister.

Ah, yes. Like the Louisana Purchase, or Manhattan. I see. Should I have come with a purse full of beads and a wagon of diseased blankets? ... Can't you smell the history in the air? No doubt their grandfathers rushed across these prairies in their wagons, knocking down the natives, smashing in their brains in their zeal to stake for their claim. That pioneer spirit. My, what a land! I have learned so much from you ~ Libba Bray
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Libba Bray
Whatever blocks you encounter, you have learned that there is a way over, around or through them. It is not those obstacles that inhibit your progress but your confidence, and will to break the inertia of fear and doubt. ~ Douglas Smith
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Douglas Smith
Pretty soon, the only doubt in my mind was the precise time and method of committing suicide. The only alternative I could see was an eternity of hell for the rest of my life in a mental hospital, and I was going to use my last ounce of free choice and choose a quick clean ending. ~ Sylvia Plath
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Sylvia Plath
After a while, she murmurs, "What does it mean... what is it to be American?" The question stuns him. That he doesn't know how to answer stuns him more. Or maybe he doesn't know the answer. Maybe certainty is impossible. We're only as real as what we do and what is done to us in the moment; knowing comes much later, if it comes at all. We're jostled by too many acts that we choose to forget. ~ Merlinda Bobis
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Merlinda Bobis
Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved. ~ Pope Francis
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Pope Francis
There is no doubt that directing television has helped hone my directing skills. What television teaches you is to be efficient and to think on your feet. You have to adhere to strict deadlines and budget constraints. ~ Emilio Estevez
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Emilio Estevez
When you kiss, you can close your eyes. You can kiss away the thoughts. You can kiss away the pain, the doubt, the shame. When you close your eyes and kiss, you protect yourself from the vulnerability. ~ Colleen Hoover
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Colleen Hoover
To all of us the thought of heaven is dear
Why not be sure of it and make it here?
No doubt there is a heaven yonder too,
But 'tis so far away
and you are near. ~ Omar Khayyam
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Omar Khayyam
There is great advantage to be gained in distantly estranging ourselves from our age and for once being driven as it were away from its shores back on to the ocean of the world-outlooks of the past. Looking back at the coast from this distance we command a view, no doubt for the first time, of its total configuration, and when we approach it again we have the advantage of understanding it better as a whole than those who have never left it. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The difference between most people and myself is that for me the "dividing walls" are transparent.

That is my peculiarity.

Others find these walls so opaque that they see nothing behind them and therefore think nothing is there.

To some extent I perceive the processes going on in the background, and that gives me an inner certainty.

People who see nothing have no certainties and can draw no conclusions--or do not trust them even if they do.

I do not know what started me off perceiving the stream of life. Probably the unconscious itself. Or perhaps my early dreams.

They determined my course from the beginning.

Knowledge of processes in the background early shaped my relationship to the world.

Basically, that relationship was the same in my childhood as it is to this day.

As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am stilI, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.

The loneliness began with the experiences of my early dreams, and reached its climax at the time I was working on the unconscious.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

C.G. Jung
Doubt And Certainty quotes by C.G. Jung
As the music played over the speakers and the waterfall in the pool filled the silence around us, I knew that, without a doubt, I had just been ruined. ~ Abbi Glines
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Abbi Glines
I would doubt that virtue, to her, means abstinence. It is far more likely to mean courage, compassion, and the integrity to be brutally honest, first with yourself and then with others, and never to run away just because you are exhausted or afraid. ~ Anne Perry
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Anne Perry
How's the blood-stream, my dear, invaluable little woman? How's the blood-stream?" ...
"It's quite comfortable, sir ... I think, sir, thank you." ...
"Aha!" ... "a comfortable stream, is it? Aha! v-e-r-y good. V-e-r-y good. Dawdling 'twixt hill and hill, no doubt. Meandering through groves of bone, threading the tissues and giving what sustenance it can to your dear old body ... I am so glad. But in yourself - right deep down in yourself - how do you feel? Carnally speaking, are you at peace - from the dear grey hairs of your head to the patter of your little feet - are you at peace?"
"What does he mean, dear?" said poor Mrs. Slagg, clutching Fuschia's arm ...
"He wants to know if you feel well or not. ~ Mervyn Peake
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Mervyn Peake
If someone had told him at that moment that he was in love, passionately in love, he would have rejected the notion with surprise and possibly even with indignation. And if someone had gone on to say that Aglaya's letter was a love letter, arranging a lovers' rendezvous, he would have burned with shame for such a man and, perhaps, have challenged him to a duel. All this was perfectly sincere and not once did he have any doubt or admit the slightest "double" thought about the possibility of this girl loving him, or even of him loving her. He would have been ashamed of having such an idea! The possibility of love for him, for "a man like him," he would have found monstrous. It crossed his mind that, if there was anything to it at all, it was simply a prank on her part, but he was quite unconcerned by the whole matter and found it all too natural. [...] All that concerned him was to see her again tomorrow, early in the morning, to sit beside her on the green bench, and hear her tell him how to load a pistol and to look at her. He wanted nothing more than that. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
This is the true nature of home - it is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division. ~ John Ruskin
Doubt And Certainty quotes by John Ruskin
For fifteen years, the people of Weep had lived with the certainty that the monsters were dead, and Eril-Fane had lived with the burden of it. ~ Laini Taylor
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Laini Taylor
That's so often what it is with machinery: be somewhat in doubt and it carries the decision. ~ Saul Bellow
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Saul Bellow
You do realize she's over two thousand five hundred years old, speaks at least a hundred languages, and has such a depth of knowledge the Cadre comes to her for advice and information?"
Galen had no doubt all of that was true. "I don't intend to get into an intelligence contest with her. ~ Nalini Singh
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Nalini Singh
Prayer must emanate from the heart, where God resides, and not from the head where doctrines and doubts clash. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
Megan stepping back let her glance switch from Alma to Isabel and return to Alma. No doubt about it, thought Megan. Created as much alike as any sisters ever had been, their resemblance started with their matching red-and-white polka dot blouses. Since she was a young girl, she had matched their eye colors to their different personalities. ~ Ed Lynskey
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Ed Lynskey
I see that I am inwardly fashioned for faith and not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear and doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry my being is gasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence I breath freely - these are my native air. ~ E. Stanley Jones
Doubt And Certainty quotes by E. Stanley Jones
The really great visual experience today is to fly over a huge city and look down into the night. It's like a tremendous jubilant Christmas tree. You just feel life is worth living when you come down you may have some doubts. ~ Gyorgy Kepes
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Gyorgy Kepes
I pressed my hand against her hair, holding her to me, filled with the certainty that she was going to hurt me again and that I didn't have the strength to push her away before she did. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
He would be guilty of mortal sin, because he exposes himself to the danger of grievously offending God. Hence, before he acts he must lay aside the doubt; and if he has not hitherto done so, he must confess it, at least, as it is before God. But the scrupulous, who have doubts about everything, must follow another rule: they must obey their confessor. When he tells them to conquer their doubts, and to act against scruples, they should obey with exactness; otherwise they will render themselves unable and unfit to perform any spiritual exercise. ~ Alphonsus Liguori
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
Everybody, as soon as they do a good experiment, their first thought in this lab is, 'That can't be right. I must have screwed it up. What did I do wrong?' And that's the best kind of scientist because they're filled with this self-doubt. And if I'm going to be honest, that's who I am. And it's what drives me. ~ Bonnie Bassler
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Bonnie Bassler
Love which cries out,
And wants the world to understand,
Is love that holds itself in doubt.
For love is quiet, and love is kind. ~ Elizabeth Jennings
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Elizabeth Jennings
The serpent's objective is clear. He seeks to drive a wedge of doubt into Adam and Eve's confidence in what God has told them. Satan knows the power of undermining a human being's confidence in what God has revealed. Sadly, the serpent's temptation was successful. Adam and Eve second-guessed God's trustworthiness and then rejected his command. They sinned and ate the forbidden fruit. This was the beginning of the fallen world we all experience. All generations following would have a natural bent for rebelling against God and being skeptical or indifferent to what he has said. To this day, Satan's objective has not changed. Though his questions look a little different at times, they all contain the same idea ~ Jon Morrison
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Jon Morrison
By doubting we are led to enquire, and by enquiry we perceive the truth. ~ Peter Abelard
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Peter Abelard
Let it be told to the future world that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet it. ~ Barack Obama
Doubt And Certainty quotes by Barack Obama
