************* CERTAINTY *************

Persuasion is Achieved.............
By the Speaker's Personal Character.............
When the Speech is So Spoken.............
As to Make Us Think him Credible..............
We Believe Good Men More Fully and More Readily.............
Than Others.............
This is True Generally whatever the Question is,............
& Absolutely True where Exact Certainty.............
Is Impossible and Opinions are Divided...........
The Areas of Consensus Shift Unbelievably Fast............
The Bubbles of Certainty are Constantly Exploding..............
Although our Intellect always Longs for Clarity............
& Certainty, our Nature often Finds Uncertainty Fascinating..............
If you Develop the Absolute Sense of Certainty............
That Powerful Beliefs Provide,.............
Then you Can Get Yourself to Accomplish.............
 Virtually Anything, Including those things.............
That other People are Certain are Impossible.............
Faith and Hope is Not the Conviction.............
That Something will Turn Out Well.............
But the Certainty that Something Makes Sense,.............
Regardless of How it Turns Out.............
In All Affairs it's a Healthy Thing.............
Now and Then to Hang a Question Mark on the Things.............
You Have Long Taken for Granted.............
In our Reasonings Concerning Matter of Fact,.............
There are All Imaginable Degrees of Assurance,.............
From the Highest Certainty.............
To the Lowest Species of Moral Evidence.............
A Wise Man, Therfore,...........
Proportions his Belief to the Evidence..............
If you Tried to Doubt Everything.............
You Would Not Get as Far as Doubting Anything............
The Game of Doubting itself Presupposes Certainty..............
Doubter Wants Proof which Contributes Nothing to Faith............
If a Man will Begin with Certainties,.............
He Shall End in Doubts,............. 
But If He will be Content to Begin with Doubts,.............
He Shall End in Certainties.............
A Reasonable Probability is the Only Certainty.............
Certainty is a Mental State being without a Doubt, Confidence & Assurance.............
