Doubt is an incentive to truth and patient inquiry leadeth the way.~ Hosea Ballou The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom. The modern world is the child of doubt and inquiry, as the ancient world was the child of fear and faith.~ Clarence S. Darrow You thus have no rights at all over our freedom of thought, you princes; no jurisdiction over that which is true or false; no right to determine the objects of our inquiry or to set limits to it; no right to hinder us from communicating the results, whether they be true or false, to whomever or however we wish.~ Johann Gottlieb Fichte Debate, it seems to me, is one of the most useful of human inventions.
