doubts - quotes

Eric Hoffer, 1902-1983

was an American social writer and philosopher

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.

Karl Kraus, 1874-1936

was an Austrian author and journalist

A weak man has doubts before a decision, a strong man has them afterwards.
