Today's Quotation

Charlse Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is a largely forgotten American philosopher associated with the Pragmatic school that arose in the late 19th century. Here's something he wrote that maight be worth considering:

"Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from
which we struggle to free ourselves and pass
into the state of belief; while the latter is a calm
and satisfactory state which we do not wish to
avoid, or to change to a belief in anything else."
