“To cut off the confusion and accept an answer just because it's too scary not to have an answer is a good way to get the wrong answer.”

“I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives.”

Mike Huckabee (1955) Arkansas politician

“Mistaking no answers in practice for no answers in principle is a great source of moral confusion.”

“Why should they also be accepted by private persons in private transactions in exchange for goods and services?
The short answer—and the right answer—is that private persons accept these pieces of paper because they are confident that others will. The pieces of green paper have value because everybody thinks they have value. Everybody thinks they have value because in everybody's experience they have had value…”

Milton Friedman (1912–2006) American economist, statistician, and writer

“Sometimes, thinking just didn’t do any good, didn’t provide any answers. Because for some questions—such as the arbitrariness of life and death during wartime—there weren’t any answers.”

Quentin Tarantino (1963) American film director, screenwriter, producer, and actor

“To truly listen for intuition means to listen with all of your senses. You may hear the answer, or see the answer. You may just "know" the answer. You may get a physical sensation such as a chill or hot flash or feel the answer emotionally.”

“There are these four ways of answering questions. Which four? There are questions that should be answered categorically [straightforwardly yes, no, this, that]. There are questions that should be answered with an analytical (qualified) answer [defining or redefining the terms]. There are questions that should be answered with a counter-question. There are questions that should be put aside. These are the four ways of answering questions.”

Gautama Buddha (-563–-483 BC) philosopher, reformer and the founder of Buddhism

“One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.”
