Doubt Quotations
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
Buddha
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Mark Twain
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Mark Twain
When in doubt tell the truth.
Mark Twain
When in doubt, don't.
Benjamin Franklin

William Shakespeare

Khalil Gibran
Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
