Doubtful

Famous quotes containing the word doubtful:

“It is one thing to live, another to philosophize. When therefore the question is about the conduct of our lives, and the performance of our duty, we cease to be philosophers, to be opponents, doubtful or uncertain; and become poor, simple credulous idiots; we call things by their names, and re-assume our understanding and manners; we conform our manners to those of other men, and to their laws and customs.”
—Pierre-Daniel Huet (1630–1721)

“In doubtful cases the more liberal interpretation must always be preferred.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

“Were it good
To set the exact wealth of all our states
All at one cast? to set so rich a main
On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour?
It were not good.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
