Top Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Claude Levi-Strauss

Scientific knowledge advances haltingly and is stimulated by contention and doubt. — Claude Levi-Strauss

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Carl Sagan

The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can't all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It's a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I'm not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they're called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation. — Carl Sagan

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Anonymous

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. — Anonymous

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Richard Dawkins

We are talking about a bet, remember, and Pascal wasn't claiming that his wager enjoyed anything but very long odds. Would you bet on God's valuing dishonestly faked belief (or even honest belief) over honest scepticism? — Richard Dawkins

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By George Santayana

Scepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it can be safely exchanged for fidelity and happiness. — George Santayana

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

All men are equal and free: society by nature, and destination, is therefore autonomous and ungovernable. If the sphere of activity of each citizen is determined by the natural division of work and by the choice he makes of a profession, if the social functions are combined in such a way as to produce a harmonious effect, order results from the free activity of all men; there is no government. Whoever puts a hand on me to govern me is an usurper and a tyrant; I declare him my enemy. — Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Denis Diderot

Scepticism is the first step towards truth. — Denis Diderot

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle

Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation. — Arthur Conan Doyle

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Roberta Pearce

I don't believe that celebrity spokeswomen get their hair colour from a box. — Roberta Pearce

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Carl Sagan

The method of science is tried and true. It is not perfect, it's just the best we have. And to abandon it, with its skeptical protocols, is the pathway to a dark age. — Carl Sagan

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Scarlett Thomas

I always got a bit pissed off with those broadsheet sceptics who make their living being passionately angry about homeopathy, God, synchronicity or whatever, because it's as if they can't get past their emotions, and in their rage they become as faith-driven as the beliefs they criticise. I always said they give scientists a bad name. After all, science has to be about asking unthinkable questions, not closing down debate. — Scarlett Thomas

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By William A. Dembski

Johnson is a radical skeptic, insisting, in the best Socratic tradition, that everything be put on the table for examination. By contrast, most skeptics opposed to him are selective skeptics, applying their skepticism to the things they dislike (notably religion) and refusing to apply their skepticism to the things they do like (notably Darwinism). On two occasions I've urged Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine, to put me on its editorial board as the resident skeptic of Darwinism. Though Shermer and I know each other and are quite friendly, he never got back to me about joining his editorial board. — William A. Dembski

When I put out to sea, I do not offer advice to the skipper about the management of the ship. — Elsa Barker

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Jodi Picoult

This sort of obsessing would get him nowhere. He needed to move on, to get going, to look forward. — Jodi Picoult

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Zlatan Ibrahimovic

When people criticize me, instead of putting my head down, it gives me energy to do even more. — Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By George Eliot

Scepticism, as we know, can never be thoroughly applied, else life would come to a standstill — George Eliot

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Robert Stanfield

These are the people we elected and if we are not satisfied we should get new candidates. It is in our hands. It is our country. It is a very simplistic view that politicians are to blame for everything. — Robert Stanfield

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Sidin Vadukut

I am not suggesting that history or scepticism by themselves can provide all the answers to all these questions. History, after all, is not a forward-looking discipline. It can only tell us what happened the last time, not what will happen next time. Similarly, scepticism is hardly sufficient to do anything but ask questions. But together they - history and scepticism - form a potent force for enquiry. — Sidin Vadukut

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By Jean-Paul Sartre

She believed in nothing. Only her scepticism kept her from being an atheist. — Jean-Paul Sartre

Scepticism Vs Skepticism Quotes By David Hume

Does a man of sense run after every silly tale of hobgoblins or fairies, and canvass particularly the evidence? I never knew anyone, that examined and deliberated about nonsense who did not believe it before the end of his enquiries. — David Hume
