Certainty Quotes

To say that one need art, or politics, that incorporate ambiguity and contradiction is not to say that one then stops recognizing and condemning things as evil. However, it might stop one being so utterly convinced of the certainty of one’s own solutions. There needs to be a strong understanding of fallibility and how the very act of certainty or authoritativeness can bring disasters Picture Quote #1

Certainty creates strength. Certainty gives one something upon which to learn. Uncertainty creates weakness. Uncertainty makes one tentative if not fearful, and tentative steps, even when in the right direction, may not overcome significant obstacles Picture Quote #1

There are two modes of knowledge: through argument and through experience. Argument brings conclusions and compels us to concede them, but it does not cause certainty nor remove doubts that the mind may rest in truth, unless this is provided by experience Picture Quote #1

Scientists do not believe in fundamental and absolute certainties. For the scientist, certainty is never an end, but a search; not the ordering of certainty, but its exploration. For the scientist, certainty represents the highest degree of probability Picture Quote #1

There is no certainty of what will or won’t be in our lives. All we have is this moment. The last is gone, the next isn’t here yet Picture Quote #1

Doubt is nothing but a trivial agitation on the surface of the soul, while deep down there is a calm certainty Picture Quote #1

Proof that a given condition always precedes or accompanies a phenomenon does not warrant concluding with certainty that a given condition is the immediate cause of that phenomenon. It must still be established that when this condition is removed, the phenomen will no longer appear Picture Quote #1

One thing, however, is certain. Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year’s presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law Picture Quote #1

I’m a member of that half of the human race which is inclined to divide the human race into two kinds of people. My dividing line runs between the people who crave certainty and the people who trust chance Picture Quote #1

What has always surprised me when I walk into a bookstore is the number of books that you can find that are written with certainty. The authors tell some story as though it’s true, but they don’t have any evidence that it is true! Picture Quote #1

When you meditate you feel joy, harmony, peace, stillness, ecstasy, laughter, certainty, courage, strength, awareness and immortality. In the beginning you will feel these things vaguely, a distant knocking at your castle door Picture Quote #1

The inherent preferences of organizations are clarity, certainty and perfection. The inherent nature of human relationships involves ambiguity, uncertainty, and imperfection. How one honors, balances, and integrates the needs of both is the real trick of feedback Picture Quote #1

Audiences aren’t going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I’m dead, buried and forgotten. They’re going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about Picture Quote #1

The only certainty is that we never know what tomorrow holds. We live for today, life is short, so let’s enjoy it together while we can Picture Quote #1

I do not have easy days at home now and I drift between fear and helplessness in sunny rooms where it is unspeakably cold. Strange shudders of transformation, bodily experienced to the point of vulnerability, visions of mysteries until the certainty of having died, ecstasies to the point of stony petrifaction, and a continuation of dreaming sad dreams Picture Quote #1

Psychological man may be going nowhere, but he aims to achieve a certain speed and certainty in going. Like his predecessor, the man of the market economy, he understands morality as that which is conducive to increased activity. The important thing is to keep going Picture Quote #1

The scientist has to take 95 per cent of his subject on trust. He has to because he can’t possibly do all the experiments, therefore he has to take on trust the experiments all his colleagues and predecessors have done. Whereas a mathematician doesn’t have to take anything on trust. Any theorem that’s proved, he doesn’t believe it, really, until he goes through the proof himself, and therefore he knows his whole subject from scratch. He’s absolutely 100 per cent certain of it. And that gives him an extraordinary conviction of certainty, and an arrogance that scientists don’t have Picture Quote #1

All that passes for knowledge can be arranged in a hierarchy of degrees of certainty, with arithmetic and the facts of perception at the top Picture Quote #1

The demand for certainty is one which is natural to man, but is nevertheless an intellectual vice. If you take your children for a picnic on a doubtful day, they will demand a dogmatic answer as to whether it will be fine or wet, and be disappointed in you when you cannot be sure Picture Quote #1

Life to the great majority is only a constant struggle for mere existence, with the certainty of losing it at last Picture Quote #1

With the only certainty in our daily existence being change, and a rate of change growing always faster in a kind of technological leapfrog game, speed helps people think they are catching up Picture Quote #1

I have throughout been curious about how much we can be said to know and with what degree of certainty or doubtfulness Picture Quote #1

In that world, you’ll be able to rise in the morning with the spirit you had known in your childhood: that spirit of eagerness, adventure and certainty which comes from dealing with a rational universe Picture Quote #1

There has to be certainty and there has to be clarity. There can’t be ambiguity,.. This has to be certain, clear in all respects from all the parties so nobody is in any doubt about what the future holds Picture Quote #1

Science does not give us absolute and final certainty. It only gives us assurance within the limits of our mental abilities and the prevailing state of scientific thought Picture Quote #1

I am one of a rare breed of true politicians who definitely say what they may or may not mean with absolute certainty Picture Quote #1

Certainty sees things in restrictive, protective, aggressive ways, and thus isn’t seeing at all Picture Quote #1

It is not certainty which is creative, but the uncertainty we are pledged to in our works Picture Quote #1

Rather than a universe of static certainty, at the most fundamental level of matter, the world and its relationships were uncertain and unpredictable, a state of pure potential of infinite possibility Picture Quote #1
