When
I began my humanitarian work, I understood that in order
to gain credibility I needed patience, commitment and
unwavering perseverance. I needed to ignore the skeptics.

A
child miseducated is a child lost.
-- John
F. Kennedy
Modern
cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those
to whom they entrust the minds of their children a
smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust
the care of their plumbing.
-- John
F. Kennedy

An
unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people
fed only partisan information and opinion that confirm
their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind
and spirit by the junk food of propaganda is less
inclined to put up a fight, ask questions and be skeptical.
And just as a democracy can die of too many lies,
that kind of orthodoxy can kill us, too.
-- Bill
Moyers

Dogmatism
and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies;
one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing.
What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether
of knowledge or ignorance.
-- Bertrand
Russell

It
is the tension between creativity and skepticism that
has produced the stunning and unexpected findings
of science.
-- Carl
Sagan
Skeptical
scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion,
by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
-- Carl
Sagan

Education
has failed in a very serious way to convey the most
important lesson science can teach: skepticism.
-- David
Suzuki

We
would stand a better change of survival if we accommodated
ourselves to this planet and viewed it appreciatively
instead of skeptically and dictatorially."
