Doubts are good. Confusion is excellent. Questions are awesome.All these are attempts to expand the wisdom of mind.

Belief is a wonderful way to pass the time until the facts come in.

Beware trying to iron out all your quirks, perceived flaws and doubts. It's often these things that help you find strength, compassion, empathy for others and heart.

If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song.

But, oh, when gloomy doubts prevail,I fear to call thee mine;The springs of comfort seem to fail,And all my hopes decline.Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?Thou art my only trust;And still my soul would cleave to thee,Though prostrate in the dust.

Hit the reset button. Whatever happened yesterday, forget about it. Get a new perspective. Today is a new day. Fresh start, begins now.

Not everyone rejects Christianity solely on the basis of intellectual doubts. Some people reject it simply because they don’t want it to be true, so they purposefully talk themselves out of believing it.

Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it. Putting words on paper that have never been there in quite that way before. And although you are physically by yourself, the haunting Demon never leaves you, that Demon being the knowledge of your own terrible limitations, your hopeless inadequacy, the impossibility of ever getting it right. No matter how diamond-bright your ideas are dancing in your brain, on paper they are earthbound.

You know the doubts. You are good enough. You are important. You are worthy. You are kind. You are all you need to be. You are love.

You have to believe that your voice can mean something. You have to believe that what you do matters. And you have to keep going even on days you can't find that belief. If you can't do it for yourself, you do it for all the other young souls who need to be shown that things are possible. That they too can do that thing they dream of. You do it despite the doubts and the struggles. You do it because it's what you came here to do.That's what makes an artist.

To ask the 'right' question is far more important than to receive the answer. The solution of a problem lies in the understanding of the problem; the answer is not outside the problem, it is in the problem.

People who found something to live and die for always live in the hope of success. They never allow doubts to create distances between them and their harvest time. That is also their decision.

When in doubt, throw doubt out and have a little faith....

Good gods are scarce because the majority of gods are created by evil men

Why do religious believers hate unbelievers? The feel threatened by them, they feel besieged by them. Religions consider themselves as separate tribes in their own rights and feel like unbelievers will one day overrun their strongholds

Every word that comes after "And the Lord told me. . . “is a pious lie

Some people are so stiff and inhumane as the dogma's they believe in

Give me something to worship whatever.” Cries the human soul

Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.

Science cannot disprove god. Science studies the things that are. The eternal question is who or what made them to be

Why doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away? Religious leaders know that all religions are equal; they know that no one of them has the monopoly to the knowledge of God. They know that each religion is trying to find the hidden God and that no one religion can claim to have found him beyond doubt. That's why they remain where they are and respect each other.

Can really anybody put his hand on his heart and profess to know beyond doubt what happens on the other side of this life?

There is nothing behind the curtains of religions, people put there whatever their imaginations can fathom

Once you believe that god is not a private property of anybody, you are on your way to becoming a new messiah. Maybe your own if not the world's

Theology is like assuming that there is a black cat in a dark room where in fact there is no black cat, and endeavoring to study the cat's properties and how it may have evolved from its ancestors.

The eyes of god are upon you, I mean the eyes of society. We are prisoners of societies in which we live

You take away my golden dreams and my visions of paradise, in its place you wake me up and hand me your reasons and facts and crude reality. You have ruined my life. If I commit murder or hang myself, let the god I used to pray to repay you in full.

If you believe that God is good and that He loves you without regard to whom you are or what you do, you will worship Him wholeheartedly. You will praise him with thanksgiving. If you believe He is angry against you, you will come to him with fear and trying to appease his anger. And you don't know when His anger will be over. Such a god keeps you in a perpetual psychological anguish. That is the typical kind of god we usually worship. That is the typical god approved by authority.

Each mind conceives god in its own way. There may be as many variation of the god figure as there are people in the world

God has not yet revealed himself to no one in no unclear terms. Religions are attempts to find him on that level they are all equal

What is needed is not that a religion be true, meaning that what it claims exist beyond the ink it is written with in a holy book. That is hard to prove. What is important is that a religion be a good system to help us mere mortal deal with our short and troubled life in the universe. Whether what we hope for in the afterlife materializes or not is not important, what is important is that we believe it will materialize and that gives us hope.

Much terror in religion is not the will of god, it is created by power hungry clerics who thirst for absolute power and claim it for god. God does not seek power, he is already powerful.

No one knows what god thinks of anything. He only knows and no one can claim to penetrate into his mysteries. Those who do that are liars and must be avoided at all costs

It's utter arrogance to think that we can know what god ought to be or do. If we don't understand we must continue our search or recognize our ignorance

All religions are "revealed" and "inspired". After all nothing happens without the "will" of god.

Don't create unbelief or doubt in people's minds. When you do so you ruin their lives and you have nothing to give them in its place. It's ok if people delude themselves those delusions keep their day running.

An atheist is a disappointed true believer he is an angry and hungry soul who has failed to find a real god to whom he can anchor his hope

All religions are man-made God has not yet revealed himself beyond doubt to anybody.

When you have doubts about God, the right position to take is agnosticism, atheism is outright arrogance

The more time you invest into studying religion, the more likely you are to disbelieve in the gods

Religion is a theory about everything that needs to be proved only after death those who prove or disprove it never come back to us to tell the story

All religions are guesswork

My gut instinct is that these heavens and hells exist nowhere else except in our hearts and minds

Don’t curse the gods you will feel shame when you have to call on them for help

God is powerful. Even those who claim not to believe in him fear him. Though their mouths may confess to disbelieve in him, their hearts yearn for him.

All atheists will go to heaven. If god exists, not believing in him does not take him away and he cannot justly condemn those who seek him earnestly and cannot find him. He would even reward their earnest search for him.

He is an atheist anyone who does not believe in my god and the wrath of god is upon him; I am in my right to meet that wrath on him," thunders the fanatic

You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in my god or you go to hell

Atheists are the most honest of the human race. These people are unable to live a double life; they are unable to lie to themselves. Of course it's an evolutionary handicap, and if that handicap was widespread, our species would run the risk of extinction

From the club of what atheist call false hope and false god (which offer solace to weak minds), atheist are calling you to their club of no god and no hope (which offers nothing in return. Join the club only if you are a strong minded individual capable of handling your life alone without the help of gods. )

An atheist is someone who is disappointed in his search of god. He is a man who strongly needed god but couldn't find him. Atheism is a cry of despair

I know what is going on in the heart of an atheist. Deep anguish that there is nothing beyond, nothing to live for, nothing to give him hope. I know because I endured the same predicament.

After losing faith, even an atheist feels a yawning void in his soul that needs filling; there is nothing imaginable that he can fill with it. It was all along meant to be filled with the sacred, with the unknown and unknowable power. That's the curse or blessing of humanity

Not until your heart and mind comes into a total agreement for the approval of your true purpose on earth, you shall least unleash your full energy and true strength to accomplish your true mission with enthusiasm and full tenacity.

Occupy your thoughts with purpose and you will be so busy pursuing a meaningful future there will be no time for doubt, chaos and disappointment.

Life is like the dirt we bury our dreams and fears in. It blemishes the way. As things tend to grow by the rain of our belief or doubts.

Success comes to the people who never ever doubt themselves.

If you suffer lingering doubts; if the consolation you cling to is ‘it will probably be okay,’ then run the other way because what you’re contemplating is not a good choice.

The greatest thinkers have attempted to find who we are where we come from and why we are here but the greatest enigmas to me are how your hair is a lasso that captures the stars how your eyes are lakes that drown my doubts and how your skin is the sun bursting all at once. If I knew these answers I’d know everything for you alone contain the entire universe.

it’s that sense of powerlessness that destroyed my soul. i cannot be as good as i would like to be.nor as bad as i think i need to be.i think you have the same doubts that your goodness was not rewarded

Leaders scan the future so it can be free of doubts and fear. They do so by not living a double standard life in the present.

Leaders don't fall in gutters of fear; only negative ideas flow in that canal. There, you will see filthy things like doubts and disbelief.

If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them, because as you hold your candle away from you, your goals will shrink in the eyes of others. Envy, jealousy, and resentment will put out your flame before it grows. Never reveal what you are doing until you have accomplished it. Resentment does not only come from those close to you, but also distant strangers. Therefore, fiercely guard the passions burning inside your heart, so that their flames can safely reach the highest ceilings of success without the eyes of envy.

If you truly have compassion in your heart, show it by keeping your doubts to yourself and sharing your hope with those who love change!

Self-judgment clouds our mind with inescapable indictments.

Break out to go out___________________The birds dare to break the egg shellIt does so in order to get out of that HellWhen it finally succeeds, it’ll then flyTo its comfort zone it’ll say byeAre you being confined in a small spaceHow long will you remain at that place?Before you can explore more territories,Break away from the former glories.Yesterday’s excellence is today’s averageYou must strive to be better age after ageNever accept the available mediocrityAs the only preferable opportunityDecide to grow from below to heroAnd make it a point to vacate level zeroReach out and arise with powerGod’s blessings on you, will showerAgree to grow, never attempt to be slowBe not afraid.

It is not through fighting the opposition that will win you dignity. It is when you fight the fear in yourself that asks you why you don't feel you have it, regardless if you win or lose.

The mind defines, decides, doubts and divides - only the heart truly binds.

Our toil must be in silence, and our efforts all in secret; for this enlightened age, when men believe not even what they see, the doubting of wise men would be his greatest strength.

Sometimes to submit is to know you have a life worth living for a higher purpose, worth seeing through.

There will always be thosewho say you are too young and delicateto make anything happen for yourself.They don't see the part of you that smolders.Don't let their doubting drown outthe sound of your own heartbeat.You are the first drop of rain in a hurricane.Your bravery builds beyond you.You are needed by all the little girlsstill living in secret, writing oceansmade of monsters, andthrowing like lightning.You don't need to grow upto find greatness.You are so much stronger than the worldhas ever believed you could be.The world is waiting for youto set it on fire. Trust in yourselfand burn.

I have been where you are now. I have felt the fears and resolved them. I have had the doubts and concerns and found the way forward.Lift up your head, and step ahead...

It's true not because it's beyond doubt, but because we believe it to be true. We make it true. We are safe as long as no one can disprove us

I believe despite my doubts, belief gives me power reason takes away

Lord, I believe; help my unbelief'... is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith.

When all help is stopped, when your loved ones started doubting your competence, when failure seems almost confirmed, but no matter what, if you make one more attempt, that final step will fetch you the victory.

Your doubts do nothing than pouring cold water on your enviable dreams. Just keep doubts away from you and you will not dilute your success story!

Hope greets your desires warmly while doubts insult your efforts bitterly!

The gangs of arrogant thieves that can rob you of your success are your own doubts, fears and low self-image. Get them arrested and kept distances apart and you and your accomplishments are secured.

A man of vision cannot question his potentials. He does not doubt his capabilities. He keeps going because he had seen himself gone already in his visions.

Our real beliefs are generally not to be found at the level of ego.

What we see taking place in the church today is the reduction of God to an idol.

This book is about a salvation that takes place within our unknowing and dissatisfaction,

Truly embracing the fragility and tensions of life...brings with it the possibility of true joy.

Those not chasing their dreams should stay out of the way of those who are.

That none discussed their doubts, that they assumed everyone else was just having a grand time of it and felt at ease and enjoying the ride, was perhaps the most toxic element to this particular kind of noisy loneliness.

All philosophical and inquisitive men share doubts, experience dread, endure pain, and suffer loneliness. The thinking man accepts that the quest is as much a part of life’s adventure as the final destination. The journey we take is as critical to experiencing a meaningful existence as is our actual arrival at the sought after objective. Whether we successfully arrive at our sought after designation, is only part of the equation. The ultimate objective is not reaching some point on the faraway hills, but gaining self-knowledge and increasing self-awareness on the long trek through time.

In the end when God does speak, it is not the pious friends who are commended. God tells then they have been guilty of misrepresenting God. Only Job – only angry, defiant, doubting Job has been faithful.The story of Job reminds us that God is not offended when we question. Indeed, if anything God is offended when we speak too glibly. Make room in your heart for the angry, defiant and doubting questions. You may find God there as well.

Ann: How does God’s character fit into things that seem totally against his character?

Confidence is what we get when we take fear, face it and replace it.

To faith doubt is a sin, to science a virtue, to love a cancer and to life, suicide

Although claiming my true identity as a child of God, I still live as though the God to whom I am returning demands an explanation. I still think about his love as conditional and about home as a place I am not yet fully sure of. While walking home, I keep entertaining doubts about whether I will be truly welcome when I get there. As I look at my spiritual journey, my long and fatiguing trip home, I see how full it is of guilt about the past and worries about the future. I realize my failures and know that I have lost the dignity of my sonship, but I am not yet able to fully believe that where my failings are great, 'grace is always greater.' Still clinging to my sense of worthlessness, I project for myself a place far below that which belongs to the son, (p. 52).

I counsel you, put down in record even your doubts and surmises. Hereafter it may be of interest to you to see how true you guess. We learn from failure, not from success.

Nothing restricts your peace and happiness more than your limiting self-beliefs and fears.

All my life,I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.And now, in this darkness, I fear nothing. If you were to leave me here, I would feel nothing. I would walk as I am walking now. As a man, you can't know what I mean by what I say.You can't know a woman's vulnerability. You can't know the sense of power that belongs to me now.

I think I sense a tone of honesty, if honesty exists in this world.

We had better share our bewilderments. By hiding them from each other we should not hide them from ourselves.

Apply the lie detector to everything. You will be amazed at how many lies you will discover. Beware tough, you may discover that you are a lie.

Mists may blur vision, Doubts to lies are heavy mists, Truth clears for all ways." ~ Angelica Hopes, Haikuan excerpt from If I Could Tell You

Love needs expression, Captain Geary, or doubts grow amid the silence. Doubts of the other and doubts of yourself.

There are no doubts that western governments are willfully inducing radiation sickness into segments of their city populations.

Knock on the heart’s emotions and its gates will be widely opened, but nock on reason and doubt will come charging at you

Unconsciously, I had doubts about everything around me, and all I had to do is to act selfish, and to walk through everything like a wise lady. So I attracted their eyes and I haunted their thoughts.

what makes you my friend if you doubt my intentions?

Play with reason and doubt will close all the gates

Doubt is the archenemy of love. He is the scoundrel who accused her to reason

Hope fuels your inspirations while doubts assault your aspirations!

Her smile could wash away a thousand doubts as soon as light up a room.

All people share doubts. The lingering question that eventually worms it way into all thinking people’s brain is how to live splendidly and how to die without remorse and regret.

Sometimes I like to think I live with ghosts. Not from my past, but wispy bits of ideas and books that hang in the air like silk puppets. Sometimes I think I see my own ideas, floating around too, but they usually don't last that long. They're more like mayflies; they're born, big and gleaming, and then they fly around, buzzing like crazy before they fall to the floor, dead, about twenty four hours later.

To be a success, dare to go beyond your fear and doubts.

Doubt is the first ray of illumination

Never create doubt in a person. Doubts have the habit of hanging around even if the original cause is over. Doubt never wants to be caught unawares again

Cherish your doubts, for doubt is the handmaiden of truth.Doubt is the key to the door of knowledge; it is the servant of discovery.A belief which may not be questioned binds us to error,for there is incompleteness and imperfection in every belief.Doubt is the touchstone of truth; it is an acid which eats away the false.Let no man fear for the truth, that doubt may consume it;for doubt is a testing of belief.The truth stands boldly and unafraid; it is not shaken by the testing;For truth, if it be truth, arises from each testing stronger, more secure.He that would silence doubt is filled with fear;the house of his spirit is built on shifting sands.But he that fears no doubt, and knows its use, is founded on a rock.He shall walk in the light of growing knowledge;the work of his hands shall endure.Therefore let us not fear doubt, but let us rejoice in its help:It is to the wise as a staff to the blind; doubt is the handmaiden of truth.

Don't let doubt steal your dreams.

He felt that he was still groping in the dark; he had chosen his path but kept looking back, wondering whether he had misread the signs, whether he should not have taken the other way.

Every time he tried to reconstruct the internal arguments that had led to his decision, they sounded feebler to him.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves and wiser people so full of doubts.

Love isn't really all that terrifying once you let go of your doubts.

I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

I may not be sure if monsters exist, but I’d rather live my life in doubt than be persuaded by a real experience of one.

Life is too short to have debts and doubts, Pay the bills, no regrets, be up and about.

Why am I so weak, why do I care so much?What is holding on, what's wrong with me..

The word maybe was beginning to annoy me, because the only thing that was fixed was that maybe would be with me forever.

uncertainty is a path without an end. He who wants to completely do away with uncertainties before starting a purposeful journey of life shall always end a purposeful journey on the path of uncertainties without beginning any purposeful journey of life

Go idea machine on your doubts.

Unrest and uncertainty are our lot.

If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable ... we must be content to creep along the ground and can never soar.

Nothing perhaps is strange once you have accepted life itself the great strange business which includes all lesser strangeness.

Throughout this life you can never be certain of living long enough to take another breath.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way that some poems don't rhyme and some stories don't have a clear beginning middle and end. Life is about not knowing having to change taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next.

The longing for certainty ... is in every human mind. But certainty is generally illusion.

No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.

Every year if not every day we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.

We are not certain we are never certain.

All business proceeds on beliefs or judgment of probabilities and not on certainties.

The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides never decides.

There is nothing certain in a man's life but that he must lose it.

Ah what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!

When I was young I was sure of everything in a few years having been mistaken a thousand times I was not half so sure of most things as I was before at present I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed.

We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand.

Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been cock-sure of many things that were not so.

A reasonable probability is the only certainty.

Doubt is not a pleasant state but certainty is a ridiculous one.

Being unready and ill-equipped is what you have to expect in life. It is the universal predicament. It is your lot as a human being to lack what it takes. Circumstances are seldom right. You never have the capacities the strength the wisdom the virtue you ought to have. You must always do with less than you need in a situation vastly different from what you would have chosen.

To be absolutely certain about something one must know everything or nothing about it.

Free man is by necessity insecure thinking man by necessity uncertain.

We sail within a vast sphere ever drifting in uncertainty driven from end to end.

Something must be left to chance nothing is sure in a sea fight.

There is only one thing about which I am certain and this is that there is very little about which one can be certain.

The only certainty is that nothing is certain.

I'm often wrong but never in doubt.

There is one thing certain namely that we can have nothing certain therefore it is not certain that we can have nothing certain.

Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning.

The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams illusions wars peace love hate all that.... Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing.

When nothing is sure everything is possible.

He who forecasts all perils will never sail the sea.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of shore for a very long time.

To teach how to live with uncertainty yet without being paralyzed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do.

Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion on slender evidence.

If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties it may be too late.

Not seeing is half-believing.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart.

In the face of uncertainty there is nothing wrong with hope.

No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.

Faith hasn't got no eyes but she's long-legged.

Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it you can make it so.

If a man will begin with certainties he shall end in doubts but if he will content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

Nobody can really guarantee the future. The best we can do is size up the chances calculate the risks involved estimate our ability to deal with them and make our plans with confidence.

Many live in dread of what is coming. Why should we? The unknown puts adventure into life. ... The unexpected around the corner gives a sense of anticipation and surprise. Thank God for the unknown future.

If I ever felt inclined to be timid as I was going into a room full of people I would say to myself "You're the cleverest member of one of the cleverest families in the cleverest class of the cleverest nation. ... Why should you be frightened?"

Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve.

Soon after a heart-wrung decision something inevitably occurs to cast doubt on your choice. Holding steady against that doubt usually proves your decision.

Doubt breeds doubt.
