I had a dollar. I met a man with a dollar. We exchanged dollars, and when we parted we each still had only a dollar.
I had an idea. I met a man with an idea. We exchanged ideas, and when we parted we each had two ideas.

While timorous knowledge stands considering, audacious ignorance hath done the deed.
     — Samuel Daniel (1562-1619)

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
     — Rene Descartes (1596-1650)

Surely we are also permitted doubt. But we must move on. To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation. 
     -- Yan Martel, Life of Pi
