Visdommens begynnelse er tvil. Tvilen stiller spørsmål. Når vi leter etter svaret, kommer vi nærmere sannheten.
Sic et Non (1120).
The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.
Variant: Constant and frequent questioning is the first key to wisdom … For through doubting we are led to inquire, and by inquiry we perceive the truth.
Par le doute en effet nous en arrivons au questionnement ; par le questionnement nous percevons la vérité.
