#Doubt

"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."

"Temptation is stronger in the minds of people who are in doubt. Prayer makes it weaker."

"In these times I don't, in a manner of speaking, know what I want; perhaps I don't want what I know and want what I don't know."

"Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure."

"Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith."

"Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving."

"Faith doesn't mean you never doubt. It only means you never act upon your doubts."

"Doubt … is an illness that comes from knowledge and leads to madness."

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts."

"We’ll never survive!” “Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has."

"You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt."

"Sometimes, some lies that spoken with high confidencecould be more receptive than facts that spoken with doubt."

"No one knows for sure that that tomorrow won't come, but most people assume that tomorrow will still exist as usual. This is Toba's Paradox, which means, hope overcomes doubt."

"Doubt is a question mark; faith is an exclamation point. The most compelling, believable, realistic stories have included them both."

"I started having doubts right on top of my certainty."

"Da used to say that lies were easy, but trust was hard. Trust is like faith: it can turn people into believers, but every time it's lost, trust becomes harder and harder to win back."

"The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom."

"Without humor, I cannot go on and I doubt many of my readers would go on either. Humor is so important. I am here to have fun here with my work."
