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

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche also said...




Let it not be your honor henceforth whence you come, but where you go!





The best way to begin each day well is to think upon awakening whether we could not give at least one person pleasure on this day.





All of us harbour in ourselves hidden gardens and plantations;





Become who you are!





He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.”





On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
