Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way.
It is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth.
The key to wisdom is this - constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth.
Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.
One must verify or expel his doubts, and convert them into the certainty of Yes or NO.
Doubt grows with knowledge.
Test yourself on mankind. It is something that makes the doubter doubt, the believer believe.
In these times, the hardest task for social or political activists is to find a way to get people to wonder again about what we all believe is true. The challenge is to sow doubt.

To believe with certainty we must begin with doubting.
