Roland H. Bainton
“By dying for a conviction a man proves only that he is sincere, not that he is right.”
Roland H. Bainton, Erasmus of Christendom

“Doubt, I’ve learned, is wisdom. And the older I get, the less I know for certain. Those leaders who never think they are wrong, who never question their judgments or perspectives, are a danger to the organizations and people they lead. In some cases, they are a danger to the nation and the world.”
James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

Alexander Pope
“So modern pothecaries taught the art
By doctors bills to play the doctor's part.
Bold in the practice of mistaken rules
Prescribe, apply, and call their masters fools.”
Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism

Aldous Huxley
“But, then, you were born a pagan; I am trying laboriously to make myself one. I can take nothing for granted, I can enjoy nothing as it comes along. Beauty, pleasure, art, women - I have to invent an excuse, a justification for everything that's delightful. Otherwise I can't enjoy it with an easy conscience.”
Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow
