Cherish Your Doubts

Cherish your doubts

for doubt is the attendant of truth.

Doubt is the key to the door of
knowledge;

it is the servant of discovery.

A belief which may not be questioned binds us
to error,

for there is incompleteness and
imperfection

in every belief.

Doubt is the touchstone of truth;

it is acid which eats away the false.

Let no one fear for the truth that doubt may consume it;

for doubt is the testing of belief.

The truth stands boldly and
unafraid;

it is not shaken by testing:

for truth, if it be truth,

arises from each testing stronger, more
secure.
