Quote by Plato

The wise are doubtful.

The wise are doubtful.

Summary

This quote suggests that wise individuals tend to question or be uncertain about things rather than blindly accepting them. They understand that knowledge is limited and it is important to approach information with a critical mindset. Wise people are not easily swayed by popular opinions or societal norms, instead they seek evidence and consider different perspectives before forming conclusions. By embracing doubt, they remain open to learning, growth, and the possibility of discovering new truths. This mindset of doubt enables wisdom to flourish.

What people forget is that the most radical thing about Obama is that he was the first black man in history to imagine that he could become president, who was able to make other Americans believe it as well. Other than that, he is a centrist, just like I try to be. He's been bridging divisions his whole life.
