17 November: Coping With Uncertainty Day

It's Coping With Uncertainty Day. A day we probably need more than usual in 2016. Here are ten quotes about uncertainty:

  1. The World falls apart, but some things stay in place. Billy Bragg
  2. I always fight against routine because I believe that a person should not have one day which is exactly like another: he loses the feeling that each day of life is God’s gift. Mstishv Rostropovich
  3. There must be a spice of mischief and wilfulness thrown into the cup of our existence to give it its sharp taste and sparkling flavour. Mazlitt
  4. Order is the pleasure of the reason; but disorder is the delight of the imagination. Paul Claudel
  5. Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood. Henry Miller
  6. Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty. John Finley
  7. There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. William James
  8. One of the advantages of being disorderly is that I am constantly making exciting discoveries. Alan Milne
  9. Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative. Oscar Wilde
  10. No amount of sophistication is going to allay the fact that all your knowledge is about the past and all your decisions are about the future. Ian E Wilson
