Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong.

The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant -- H L Mencken

Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt.- H L Mencken
