The older I get, the less I know. By that I mean the less I am sure of. I view people with strong opinions on the big stuff with distrust. I don't think we should have certain certainties on faith and politics; I think we should be open-minded.
If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
Creativity can be described as letting go of certainties.
Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!

Sometimes the probabilities are very close to certainties, but they're never really certainties.
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.
People, chained by monotony, afraid to think, clinging to certainties... they live like ants.
