Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death.

Nobody can honestly think of himself as a strong character because, however successful he may be in overcoming them, he is necessarily aware of the doubts and temptations that accompany every important choice. --W. H. Auden

If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt. --Thomas Carlyle

Materialists and madmen never have doubts.-- G. K. Chesterton

If you would be a real seeker after truth, you must at least once in your life doubt, as far as possible, all things.-- Rene Descartes, Discours de la Me'thode, 1637

When in doubt, go shopping.--Sarah Ferguson

The believer will fight another believer over a shade of difference: the doubter fights only with himself.~ Graham Greene, Monsignor Quixote, Pt 1, Ch 4 (1982)

If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to doubt....There is no believing without some doubting, and believing is all the stronger for understanding and resolving doubt. -- Os Guinness

If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Don't give us your doubts, gives us your certainties, for we have doubts enough of our own.-- Goethe

Secular faiths such as Marxism left much less room for doubt than religion. Religion knows all about doubt. Since God's ways are unknowable, religion can endure only if it finds a place for self-questioning. Prayer itself is a questioning dialogue with God. But what is Marxism's equivalent of prayer? Since the theory had to be correct, a believer had to disavow the testimony of his own senses; and if reality failed to live up to the promise of theory, then the reality was deficient.
Michael Ignatieff, "The Era of Error", _The New Republic_, Aug.9,1999

After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the non existence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus." --James Boswell: Life of Samuel Johnson
