Les réflexions naissent dans les doutes et meurent dans les certitudes. 
Les doutes sont donc un signe de force et les certitudes un signe de 
faiblesse. La plupart des gens sont pourtant certains du contraire.

Thoughts appear from doubts and die in convictions. Therefore, doubts 
are an indication of strength and convictions an indication of weakness. 
Yet, most people believe the opposite.
