Skepticism Quotes

We wish to find the truth, no matter where it lies. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact Picture Quote #1

Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism Picture Quote #1

Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history? Picture Quote #1

The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it Picture Quote #1

... skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man’s feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground Picture Quote #1

The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of skepticism with faith Picture Quote #1

Skepticism rather than credulity is the highest principle that the human intellect can use to ennoble our existence Picture Quote #1

Although individuals may be highly intelligent, they are sometimes dogged by skepticism and doubts. They are clever, but they tend to be hesitant and skeptical and are never really able to settle down. These people are the least receptive Picture Quote #1

Through fear of resembling one another, through horror of having to submit, through uncertainty as well, through skepticism and complexity, there is a multitude of individual little beliefs for the triumph of strange little individuals Picture Quote #1

My parents were not scientists. They knew almost nothing about science. But in introducing me simultaneously to skepticism and to wonder, they taught me the two uneasily cohabiting modes of thought that are central to the scientific method Picture Quote #1

Capital punishment, like the rest of the criminal justice system, is a government program, so skepticism is in order Picture Quote #1

Setting skepticism aside, even briefly, can make for very interesting explorations. It is not necessary that we change any of our beliefs. It is necessary that we examine them Picture Quote #1

Skepticism is my only gospel, but I don’t want to make a dogma out of it Picture Quote #1

Skepticism... is not intellectual only it is moral also, a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul Picture Quote #1

Bull markets are born on pessimism, grown on skepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell Picture Quote #1

It begins with skepticism. The history of human folly, and our own susceptibility to illusions and fallacies, tell us that men and women are fallible Picture Quote #1

I discourage passive skepticism, which is the armchair variety where people sit back and criticize without ever subjecting their theories or themselves to real field testing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am no fan of books. And chances are, if you’re reading this, you and I share a healthy skepticism about the printed word. Well, I want you to know that this is the first book I’ve ever written, and I hope it’s the first book you’ve ever read. Don’t make a habit of it Picture Quote #1

I realize that idealism is out of sync with the cynicism of our age. Skepticism has come to be synonymous with sophistication, and glibness is mistaken for intelligence. In such an atmosphere, why bother aiming high? Far too many people don’t. I just want to reassure people to have the courage to persevere, to keep following their hearts even when others scoff. Don’t be beaten down by naysayers. Don’t let the odds scare you from even trying Picture Quote #1

We have an incapacity of proof, insurmountable by all dogmatism. We have an idea of truth, invincible to all skepticism Picture Quote #1

Investors should start with a view of skepticism. They should become intellectual investors rather than emotional investors. They should be careful, and they should be skeptical Picture Quote #1

I respect more the person who struggles with his faith than the person who is confident in his skepticism Picture Quote #1

Large skepticism leads to large understanding. Small skepticism leads to small understanding. No skepticism leads to no understanding Picture Quote #1

A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may... Readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest pleasures of childhood is found in the mysteries which it hides from the skepticism of the elders, and works up into small mythologies of its own Picture Quote #1

Skepticism is not an end in itself; it is a tool for the discovery of truths Picture Quote #1

Skepticism is an important historical tool. It is the starting point of all revision of hitherto accepted history Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there was enough skepticism because I think most of us kind of believed that Saddam Hussein was building biological, chemical, and perhaps even, nuclear weapons Picture Quote #1

Most institutions demand unqualified faith; but the institution of science makes skepticism a virtue Picture Quote #1
