Truth is not fully explosive, but purely electric. You don't blow the world up with the truth; you shock it into motion.
~ Criss Jami
During the flames of controversy, opinions, mass disputes, conflict, and world news, sometimes the most precious, refreshing, peaceful words to hear amidst all the chaos are simply and humbly 'I don't know.
I believe God himself will someday debate with and answer every objection arrogant men can come up with against him; I believe he will humble us and humor himself. Know-it-alls, pseudo-intellectuals, militant anti-theists, for Christ's sake, or rather their own sake, best beware of getting roasted by their own medicine. Ah! Our delusions of trying to argue against an omniscient Creator.
It's okay to be honest about not knowing rather than spreading falsehood. While it is often said that honesty is the best policy, silence is the second best policy.
Nobody knows what God's plan is for your life, but a whole lot of people will guess for you if you let them.
~ Shannon L. Alder
When you’re given the gift of truth, you spend a lot of time trying to tone it down because it is already offensive enough.
Men wanted to be strong. One way to be strong was to be knowledgeable. In so many areas, it was not possible to be knowledgeable without getting a Ph.D. and doing a postdoc. Guns and hunting provided an out for men who wanted to be know-it-alls but who couldn't afford to spend the first three decades of their lives getting up to speed on quantum mechanics or oncology.
~ Neal Stephenson
Life and love are not about what you know, but about what you know you don't know.
~ Dan Pearce
