Doubt Quotes - page 54

Aristotle's view that philosophy begins with wonder, not as in our day with doubt, is a positive point of departure for philosophy. Indeed, the world will no doubt learn that it does not do to begin with the negative, and the reason for success up to the present is that philosophers have never quite surrendered to the negative and thus have never earnestly done what they have said. They merely flirt with doubt. (Søren Kierkegaard)
My doubt goes like this: How could the Loving One have the heart to let human beings become so guilty that they got his murder on their consciences? View quote
Søren Kierkegaard

Mignon McLaughlin
Humiliation is a vast country of imprecise boundaries. If you think you're there, you are. The neurotic rule: when in doubt, go ahead and feel humiliated. View quote
Mignon McLaughlin
What I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that God is with me. I know that. I know that He's always been with me. It is evident in everything I have endured-and the fact that I made it through with some sanity. View quote
Tyler Perry

James Joyce
Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise. View quote
William Shakespeare
Toyota was the first to put a commercial fuel cell powered car on the road, and I have no doubt that Toyota will continue to be in the front lines in the development of competitive fuel cell vehicles. (Maurice Strong)
My toils in the quotation field have led me to formulate two or three laws about the way people use and abuse quotations. My first law is: When in doubt, ascribe all quotations to Bernard Shaw – which I don't mean to be taken literally, but as a general observation of the habit people have of attaching remarks to the nearest obvious speaker. Churchill, Wilde, Orson Welles and Alexander Woollcott are other useful figures upon whom to father remarks when you don't know who really said them. View quote
Nigel Rees
Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt, And every grin so merry draws one out. View quote
John Wolcot
In electron microscopy, the difficulties took considerably more time to surmount, and therefore the doubters held the field for a longer period. I can, however, also confirm from my own experience the observation of my colleagues that the doubt of the others has the advantage of leaving the field uncrowded. Mostly, this is understood only much later, in the beginning one is very disappointed. View quote
Ernst Ruska
I wish to establish the true history of Cubism whose beginning was not a matter of mere chance, something dependent on a throw of the dice, but clearly linked to that revaluation of all the values of whose absolute necessity no-one in these days can be in any doubt. View quote
Albert Gleizes

Ah, Lord, if I doubt You, it is perhaps because You hide Yourself so well. View quote
Jack McDevitt
Most government and corporate leaders would have trouble getting people to follow them out of a burning building. One way you can tell the worst of them is that they talk about leadership a lot. I doubt Winston Churchill ever used the word. Or, for that matter, Attila the Hun. View quote
Jack McDevitt
And without a doubt it is more comfortable to endure blind bondage than to work for one's liberation; the dead, too, are better suited to the earth than the living. View quote
Simone de Beauvoir
If I get to Heaven, which I very much doubt, I will ask of God just one thing, and that is to send Shakespeare back down to earth, and make him sit a University of Madras examination in Shakespeare, just for the pleasure of watching him failing the exam. View quote
Malcolm Muggeridge
I must tell you that in this moment all doubt as to my attested worth went out of me, who had redeemed a kingdom, and begotten a king, and created a god. So you waste time, my friend, in trying to convince me of all human life's failure and unimportance, for I am not in sympathy with this modern morbid pessimistic way of talking. It has a very ill sound, and nothing whatever is to be gained by it. (James Branch Cabell)
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection. View quote
Rabindranath Tagore
I don't allow myself to doubt myself even for a moment. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
The Quakers sent me books, from which I learnt how they had, years ago, established beyond doubt the duty for a Christian of fulfilling the command of non-resistance to evil by force, and had exposed the error of the Church's teaching in allowing war and capital punishment. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
