Summary

érité, doutez de ceux qui la trouvent ; doutez de tout, mais ne doutez pas de vous-même. This quote highlights the importance of critical thinking and self-trust. It suggests that we should trust and believe in those who are actively seeking the truth, as their intentions are genuine. On the other hand, we should be skeptical of those who claim to have found it, for absolute certainty can breed arrogance and limit growth. In this process of doubt, it is crucial to maintain trust in oneself, as doubting everything else can lead to self-questioning and personal growth. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy skepticism while remaining confident in one's own abilities and beliefs.
