Notable quotes

“Rabid suspicion has nothing in it of skepticism. The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.”
— Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State Of Mind, and Other Aphorisms (1955), Section 184.
“O you who believe! Avoid many suspicions, for indeed, some suspicions are sinful. And do not spy, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of their dead brother? You would despise that! And fear God. Surely, God is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.”
— Quran 49:12
“A person does not incur suspicion unless he has done the thing; and if he has not done it wholly he has done it partly; and if he has not done it partly, he has a mind to do it; and if he has not had a mind to do it, he has seen others doing it and enjoyed”
— Rabbi Reuben ben Estrobile, Talmud, tractate Mo'ed Katan 18b
“Que diable alloit-il faire dans cette galère?”
— What the devil was he doing in this galley?
“Julius Cæsar divorced his wife Pompeia, but declared at the trial that he knew nothing of what was alleged against her and Clodius. When asked why, in that case, he had divorced her, he replied: "Because I would have the chastity of my wife clear even of suspicion."”
— Plutarch, Life of Julius Cæsar. Same in Suetonius, Life of Cæsar.
“As to Cæsar, when he was called upon, he gave no testimony against Clodius, nor did he affirm that he was certain of any injury done to his bed. He only said, "He had divorced Pompeia because the wife of Cæsar ought not only to be clear of such a crime, but of the very suspicion of it."”
— Plutarch, Life of Cicero.
