Clarence DarrowI have always felt that doubt was the beginning of wisdom, and the fear of God was the end of wisdom.
About This Quote
Many people feel that doubt is the beginning of wisdom. But it’s not; doubt is actually the end of wisdom. You can’t be wise without first knowing that you don’t know. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom because it means you are willing to keep learning. Fear of God is the end of wisdom because it means you are willing to ask for help when you need it.
