When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future. - Jules Verne (The Steam House Quotes)

When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.[Lorsque l’esprit se laisse entraîner au doute, la valeur des faits accomplis s’altère, leur physionomie change, on oublie le passé, on craint pour l’avenir.]
