Text Quotes
The new always happens against the overwhelming odds of statistical laws and their probability, which for all practical, everyday purposes amounts to certainty; the new therefore always appears in the guise of a miracle  (Certainty Quotes) Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance  (Certainty Quotes) The demand for certainty is one which is natural to man, but is nevertheless an intellectual vice  (Certainty Quotes) Only a very bad theologian would confuse the certainty that follows revelation with the truths that are revealed. They are entirely different things  (Certainty Quotes) The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers  (Certainty Quotes) For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream  (Certainty Quotes) Don’t be too harsh to these poems until they’re typed.

A wise man, therefore, proportions his belief to the evidence  (Certainty Quotes) The fact that there is nothing but a spiritual world deprives us of hope and gives us certainty  (Certainty Quotes) A man who has humility will have acquired in the last reaches of his beliefs the saving doubt of his own certainty  (Certainty Quotes) Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?  (Certainty Quotes) Do not expect to arrive at certainty in every subject which you pursue. There are a hundred things wherein we mortals... must be content with probability, where our best light and reasoning will reach no farther  (Certainty Quotes) The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty  (Certainty Quotes) We cannot live on probabilities. The faith in which we can live bravely and die in peace must be a certainty, so far as it professes to be a faith at all, or it is nothing  (Certainty Quotes) Once you have given up the ghost, everything follows with dead certainty, even in the midst of chaos  (Certainty Quotes) Absolute certainty is not something I strive for anymore. I’ve learned the hard way that destiny usually looks upon our most strident convictions with amusement, or perhaps even pity  (Certainty Quotes) It’s not so much religion per se, it’s false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I’m really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know  (Certainty Quotes) All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them  (Certainty Quotes) Hope is not a feeling of certainty that everything ends well. Hope is just a feeling that life and work have a meaning  (Certainty Quotes) She acquired the certainty of the expansion of time by depth of emotion, range and infinite multiplicity of experience  (Certainty Quotes) Study nothing except in the knowledge that you already knew it. Worship nothing except in adoration of your true self. And fear nothing except in the certainty that you are your enemy’s begetter and its only hope of healing  (Certainty Quotes) He stared at her, knowing with certainty that he was falling in love. He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars, wondering how on earth he’d been lucky enough to find her  (Certainty Quotes) Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I’d like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash  (Certainty Quotes) People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence  (Certainty Quotes) Maybe under all that guilt and certainty that he couldn’t love again, he still wanted me. I would have liked to have found out. But I didn’t have the time. Instead, I punched him  (Certainty Quotes) One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision  (Certainty Quotes) And when I wake up it’s wonderful, like I’ve been carried quietly onto a calm, peaceful shore, and the dream, and its meaning, has broken over me like a wave and is ebbing away now, leaving me with a single, solid certainty. I know now  (Certainty Quotes) It does take great maturity to understand that the opinion we are arguing for is merely the hypothesis we favor, necessarily imperfect, probably transitory, which only very limited minds can declare to be a certainty or a truth  (Certainty Quotes)
