There are few times when we know with absolute certainty we are going to do something for the last time. Life has a way of moving in circles, bringing us back to places we didn’t expect and taking us away from those we do. There are too many times we don’t pay close enough attention, and moments are lost in our assumption we’ll have another chance.
Megan Hart

Certainty creates strength. Certainty gives one something upon which to learn. Uncertainty creates weakness. Uncertainty makes one tentative if not fearful, and tentative steps, even when in the right direction, may not overcome significant obstacles.
John M Barry
Image
Faith was intended precisely for the simple, but the quest for certainty and simplicity becomes dangerous when it leads to fanaticism and narrow-mindedness. When reason as such becomes suspect, then faith itself becomes falsified.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain is to be ridiculous.
Socrates
Image
Heaven grants the human being who has learned to live alone a deep measure of such rewards that verily would one hesitate to sacrifice such proved satisfactions, such rare unending possibilities of contentment for anything less than certainty more certain still.
Cornelia Parker
Image
I count it as a certainty that in paradise, everyone naps.
Tom Hodgkinson

I never cling on to hope or certainty. They're the enemies of peace.
Anthony Hopkins

Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Deep down in everyone was sorrow and certainty.
Dorothy Richardson
Image
Religion seems to have always offered us that false duality ... the silences of infinite space or the cozy comfort of inner certainty.
Dan Simmons
Image
Only a very bad theologian would confuse the certainty that follows revelation with the truths that are revealed. They are entirely different things.
Denis Diderot
Image
There is a certain blend of courage, integrity, character and principle which has no satisfactory dictionary name but has been called different things at different times in different countries. Our American name for it is guts.
Louis Adamic
Image
There are times, they occur with increasing frequency nowadays, when I seem to know nothing, when everything I know seems to have fallen out of my mind like a shower of rain, and I am gripped for a moment in paralysed dismay, waiting for it all to come back but with no certainty that it will.
John Banville
Image
Grace cannot prevail...until our lifelong certainty that someone is keeping score has run out of steam and collapsed.
Robert Farrar Capon
Image
Educators must resist the quest for certainty. If there were certainty there would be no scientific advancement. So it is with morals and patriotism.
John Goodlad
Image
Certainty a strange Ferris wheel of a statement!
John Allen Paulos
Image
One can acquire certainty only by amputating inquiry.
Marvin Minsky
Image
I can predict with some sense of certainty how life will feel in a month. I can with the same logic remember with the same element of reality or truth what life was like a month ago. All perspectives on the past are entirely relative.
Dan Mangan
Image
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I love you, he said. You're more dear to my heart than I ever knew anyone else can be. And I've made you cry and there I'll stop. She was crying, but not because of his words. It was because of a certainty she refused to consider while she sat before him.
Kristin Cashore
Image
Rather than a universe of static certainty, at the most fundamental level of matter, the world and its relationships were uncertain and unpredictable, a state of pure potential of infinite possibility.
Lynne McTaggart
Image
If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer
Ajahn Chah
Image
Don't give us your doubts, gives us your certainties, for we have doubts enough of our own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.
Rick Warren
