The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.

Peter Abelard

Doubting what you see is a very odd experience. And doubting what you remember is a little less odd than doubting what you see. But it's also a pretty odd experience, because some memories come with a very compelling sense of truth about them, and that happens to be the case even for memories that are not true.

Daniel Kahneman

It is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth.

Peter Abelard

By doubting we come to questioning, and by questioning we perceive the truth.

Peter Abelard

In doubting we come to inquiry; by inquiry we perceive the truth.

Peter Abelard

If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Wait for the idea. It may not come at first, but you must be patient, never doubting, waiting in faith. It will come.

Ernest Holmes

By doubting we are led to question, by questioning we arrive at the truth.

Peter Abelard

By doubting we are led to enquire, and by enquiry we perceive the truth.

Peter Abelard

Belief in truth begins with doubting all that has hitherto been believed to be true.

Friedrich Nietzsche

"Belief in the truth commences with the doubting of all those "truths" we once believed."

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not by believing but by doubting that one can attain to the truth, which is ever changing form and condition.

Augusto Roa Bastos

I am very self-doubting; it has come out of experience.

Mahira Khan

I'm confident in my own ability. If that wasn't the case you might as well pack it in now. If you think too much, you start doubting yourself, doubting your quality, so you have to train yourself in a certain way.

Michael Owen

Everyone who observes himself doubting observes a truth, and about that which he observes he is certain; therefore he is certain about a truth. Everyone therefore who doubts whether truth exists has in himself a truth on which not to doubt.... Hence one who can doubt at all ought not to doubt the existence of truth.
