There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.
Test yourself on mankind. It is something that makes the doubter doubt, the believer believe.[Prüfe dich an der Menschheit. Den Zweifelnden macht sie zweifeln, den Glaubenden glauben.]
Life is doubt, and faith without doubt is nothing but death.[La vida es duda, y la fe sin la duda es sólo muerte.]
He who Doubts from what he sees, will ne’er Believe, do what you Please. If the Sun and Moon should doubt, they’d immediately Go out.
Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.[Le doute n’est pas un état bien agréable, mais l’assurance est un état ridicule.]
Doubt is death for souls; it is a leprosy that seizes on worn – out races; it is an illness that comes from knowledge and leads to madness.[Le doute, c’est la mort pour les âmes; c’est une lèpre qui prend les races usées; c’est une maladie qui vient de la science et qui conduit à la folie.]
A faith which knows of no doubt is a dead faith.[Fe que no duda es fe muerta.]
