Doubt Quotes
Doubt is uncertainty in the context of trust (where it takes the form of distrust), action, decision or faith. It is uncertainty about the truth or factuality of existence of something. It implies challenging some notion of truth in effect, or hesitating to take action on it due to concern that one might be mistaken. It can also be thought of as any mention of concern, worry, or preoccupation without mention of a possible model to alleviate concern or to enhance understanding; any mention of doubt, suspicion, or lack of confidence in future outcomes.
The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.
