Zitat des Tages über Leichtgläubigkeit / Credulity:

The only disadvantage of an honest heart is credulity. Philip Sidney

The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.

Carl Clinton Van Doren

There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.

Bette Davis

The only disadvantage of an honest heart is credulity.

Philip Sidney

The New Age movement looks like a mixed bag. I see much in it that seems good: It's optimistic; it's enthusiastic; it has the capacity for belief. On the debit side, I think one needs to distinguish between belief and credulity.

Huston Smith

A little credulity helps one on through life very smoothly.

Elizabeth Gaskell

Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength.

Charles Lamb

The natural cause of the human mind is certainly from credulity to skepticism.

Thomas Jefferson

Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.

Tryon Edwards

One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we've developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.

Malcolm Muggeridge

It strains credulity to suggest that an agency charged with gathering intelligence affecting the national security does not have an 'intelligence interest' in drone strikes, even if that agency does not operate the drones itself.

Merrick Garland

The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That's a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity to believe it's all bleakly barren.

Seth Shostak

If studying the periodic table taught me nothing else, it's that the credulity of human beings for periodic table panaceas is pretty much boundless.
