"A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may * * * readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity."

Previous Quote

If you are often deceived by those around you, you may be sure that you deserve to be deceived; and that instead of railing at the general falseness of mankind, you have first to pronounce judgment on your own jealous tyranny, or on your own weak credulity.

— Arthur Helps
