Doubting Quotes (page 27)

You're not going to be different ... you're going to be the same as you've always been; with doubts, everlasting dissatisfaction with yourself, vain efforts to amend, and falls, and everlasting expectation, of a happiness which you won't get, and which isn't possible for you. Leo Tolstoy
Miguel de Unamuno quote: "A faith which does not doubt is a dead faith."
A faith which does not doubt is a dead faith. Miguel de Unamuno
Sport, as I have discovered, fosters international hostility and leads the audience, no doubt from boredom, to assault and do grievous bodily harm while watching it. The fact that audiences at the National Theatre rarely break bottles over one another's heads, and that Opera fans seldom knee one another in the groin during the long intervals at Covent Garden, convinces me that theatre is safer than sport. John Mortimer
Little Bush says we are at war, but we are not at war because to beat war Congress has to vote for it. He says we are at war on terror, but that is a metaphor, though I doubt if he knows what that means. It's like having a war on dandruff, it's endless and pointless. Gore Vidal
Virginia Woolf quote: "There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to..."
There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to begin (at 40) to say something in my own voice. Virginia Woolf
Aiden Wilson Tozer quote: "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He..."
It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply. Aiden Wilson Tozer
Just as doubt, despair, and desensitization go together, so do faith, hope, and charity. The latter, however, must be carefully and constantly nurtured, whereas despair, like dandelions, needs so little encouragement to sprout and spread. Despair comes so naturally to the natural man! Neal A. Maxwell
Passionately obsessed by anything we love--an avalanche of magic flattens the way ahead, levels, rules, reasons, dissents, bears us with it over chasms, fears, doubts. Without the power of that love.... Richard Bach
He saw something that makes a man doubtful of the constancy of the realities outside himself. It was the shocking discovery that makes a man wonder if I've missed this, what else have I failed to see? John Steinbeck
I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful. John Ruskin
Paulo Coelho quote: "fanaticism is the only way to put an end to the doubts that..."
fanaticism is the only way to put an end to the doubts that constantly trouble the human soul. Paulo Coelho
The most agonising thing is to drop doubt into a man about his being a reality, three-dimensional - and not some other kind of reality. Yevgeny Zamyatin
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "When in doubt, ignore and be horribly unimpressed"
When in doubt, ignore and be horribly unimpressed Laurell K. Hamilton
Christ did not die to save people, but to teach people how to save each other. This is, I have no doubt, a grave heresy, but it is also a fact. Oscar Wilde
I felt the taste of mortality in my mouth, and at that moment I understood that I was not going to live forever. It takes a long time to learn that, but when you finally do, everything changes inside you, you can never be the same again. I was seventeen years old, and all of a sudden, without the slightest flicker of a doubt, I understood that my life was my own, that it belonged to me and no one else. I’m talking about freedom, Fogg. A sense of despair that becomes so great, so crushing, so... Paul Auster
