“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.” PeopleIfsMeanLeftAnswersRoomsLeaderLordDoubtHumbleProofCertaintyProphetGreat LeaderMosesBe HumbleFalse Prophets Author:Pope Francis
“Is the world ruled by strict laws or not? This question I regard as metaphysical. The laws we find are always hypotheses; which means that they may always be superseded, and that they may possibly be deduced from probability estimates. Yet denying causality would be the same as attempting to persuade the theorist to give up his search; and that such an attempt cannot be backed by anything like a proof.” WorldGivingMayMeanWould BeLawScienceGiving UpRegardProofStrictProbabilityMetaphysicalMechanicHypothesisAttemptingQuantum MechanicsTheoristsCausalityStrict Laws Book:The Logic of Scientific Discovery Source: The Logic of Scientific Discovery

“Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.” MeanStatesPainFacesPovertyDangerInspireConcernedBraveryCourtNobleProofFearfulCowardice Book:The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle Source: The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle
