Skepticism

Cautiousness in judgment is nowadays to be recommended to each and every one: if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years from each of our philosophical writers the harvest we reaped would be sufficient.
- Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Skepticism Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Skepticism

1.
Do not let yourself be tainted with a barren skepticism.
Pasteur, Louis

2.
Skepticism has never founded empires, established principles, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

3.
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Allen, Woody

4.
Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

5.
Skepticism, is that anything more than we used to mean when we said, Well, what have we here?
Frost, Robert

6.
Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind.
Dewey, John

7.
Cautiousness in judgment is nowadays to be recommended to each and every one: if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years from each of our philosophical writers the harvest we reaped would be sufficient.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

8.
The path of sound credence is through the thick forest of skepticism.
Nathan, George Jean

9.
Nearly all the powerful people of this age are unbelievers, the best of them in doubt and misery, the most in plodding hesitation, doing as well as they can, what practical work lies at hand.
Ruskin, John

10.
Skeptics are never deceived.
Proverb, French

11.
Skepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.
Carlyle, Thomas

12.
The empiricist... thinks he believes only what he sees, but he is much better at believing than at seeing.
Santayana, George

13.
Lord I disbelieve -- help thou my unbelief.
Forster, Edward M.

14.
The believer is happy; the doubter is wise.
Proverb, Hungarian

15.
A skeptic is a person who, when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it is a forgery.
Bender, Morris

16.
If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.
Byron, Lord

17.
The poison of skepticism becomes, like alcoholism, tuberculosis, and some other diseases, much more virulent in a hitherto virgin soil.
Weil, Simone

18.
Believe nothing and be on your guard against everything.
Proverb, Latin

19.
Skepticism is the beginning of Faith.
Wilde, Oscar

20.
A mind that questions everything, unless strong enough to bear the weight of its ignorance, risks questioning itself and being engulfed in doubt. If it cannot discover the claims to existence of the objects of its questioning -- and it would be miraculous if it so soon succeeded in solving so many mysteries -- it will deny them all reality, the mere formulation of the problem already implying an inclination to negative solutions. But in so doing it will become void of all positive content and, finding nothing which offers it resistance, will launch itself perforce into the emptiness of inner revere.
Durkheim, Emile

21.
We, when we sow the seeds of doubt deeper than the most up-to-date and modish free-thought has ever dreamed of doing, we well know what we are about. Only out of radical skeptics, out of moral chaos, can the Absolute spring, the anointed Terror of which the time has need.
Mann, Thomas

22.
The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found.
Unamuno, Miguel De

23.
There is a kind of courtesy in skepticism. It would be an offense against polite conventions to press our doubts too far.
Santayana, George

24.
Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.
Rolland, Romain

25.
Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect.
Santayana, George

26.
Great intellects are skeptical.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
