Certainty


 Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions
  Edward Coke

 From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts.
  Tom Stoppard

 He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson in statecraft
  James Russell Lowell

 If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts: but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
  Francis Bacon

 If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable... we must be content to creep along the ground, and can never soar.
  John Henry Newman

 In essence we have become addicted to the certainty, sureness or sense of security that our faith provides

 Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity...

 It's an old adage that the way to be safe is never to be secure... Each one of us requires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best.

 Security is an illusion. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.

 Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
  Helen Keller

 Security is not the absence of danger, but the presence of God, no matter what the danger.

 Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risks.

 Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risks.

 Security is the chief enemy of mortals.
  William Shakespeare

 Security is the mother of danger and the grandmother of destruction.
  Thomas Fuller
