Quote by James Russell Lowell

Incredulity robs us of many pleasures, and gives us nothing in return.

Incredulity robs us of many pleasures, and gives us nothing

Summary

This quote suggests that being overly skeptical or disbelieving, also known as incredulity, can have negative consequences. It implies that this mindset takes away our ability to experience enjoyment or appreciate the pleasures that life has to offer. Moreover, it asserts that incredulity does not provide any benefits or rewards in exchange for the skepticism it brings. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to be more open-minded and receptive to different experiences, as it suggests that having an overly skeptical outlook only diminishes our joy in life without offering anything valuable in return.
