King Skule. And whom call you the unsound doubter? Jatgeir. He who doubts of his own doubt. That methinks were death. Jatgeir. 'T is worse; 't is neither day nor night. Where are my weapons? I will fight and act, not think. IBSEN: The Pretenders, Act iv. A gentleman once told me that he rarely passed another in the street without wondering if he had not accosted him in an improper manner.
Oppressed as I was, I could not resist his eagerness. "Oh, beautiful!" he exclaimed. "Oh, beautiful! See! the light on the inside, the heavy one on the outside, and both in positions precisely corresponding to those on this sheet of Hannah's. What do you think now? Is any further proof necessary?" "The veriest doubter must succumb before this," returned I.
He was on the very point of following up the expedition of Jan Jansen Alpendam by some belligerent measures against the marauders of Merryland, when his attention was suddenly called away by belligerent troubles springing up in another quarter, the seeds of which had been sown in the tranquil days of Walter the Doubter.
In a word, the renowned Walter the Doubter, who had so often slumbered with his contemporaries, now slept with his fathers, and Wilhelmus Kieft governed in his stead.
Aristeides told his story, and how his vessel to Salamis had scarce escaped the Egyptian triremes, and how by this time all entrance and exit was surely closed. But even now many an angry captain called him “liar.” The strife of words was at white heat when Eurybiades himself silenced the fiercest doubter. “Captains of Hellas, a trireme of Teos has deserted from the Barbarian to us.

At the conclusion of each stage Indaba-zimbi would remark, in the words of the Roman Governor, "Almost, praying white man, thou persuadest me to become a Christian," but he never quite became one indeed, I do not think he ever meant to. It was to him that my father addressed his "Letters to a Native Doubter."
This he set out to do sooner than he had purposed. That intellectual quickening which had made him a doubter in religious matters had made him also a freethinker in politics.
Pelle had become a part of his life, and he watched his young friend's condition with anxiety. Was it the prison life or was it perhaps the books that had transformed this young man, who had once gone ahead with tempestuous recklessness, into a hesitating doubter who could not come to a decision? Personality was of doubtful value when it grew at the expense of energy.
Probably that interest dates from an experience of his one Sunday afternoon over forty years before he published his book. It will be recalled that the boy Robinson, accuser of the Lancashire women in 1634, had been brought into his Yorkshire congregation at an afternoon service and had come off very poorly when cross-questioned by the curious minister. From that time Webster had been a doubter.
