Michel de Montaigne
To philosophize is to doubt.

Wendell Johnson
Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.

Avoid destructive thinking. Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship.
Francis Bacon
