"It is dangerous to attach probability zero to anything other than a logical impossibility."

"It is not surprising that in talking about uncertainty we should lean heavily on facts, just as the court of law does when interrogating witnesses. Facts form a sort of bedrock on which we can build t…"

"In my opinion, it helps enormously to know why something is true, rather than being told it is true, for why should you believe me? Never believe anything on the authority of a single person but seek …"

"Utility is the emotion pleading to be let into the house of pure reason and thereby enriching it."

"It is not merely a question of calculating with probabilities but also one of relating the ingredients of your probability statements to reality. You do not need to think only about p but also about t…"

"There are some things that you know to be true, and others that you know to be false; yet, despite this extensive knowledge that you have, there remain many things whose truth or falsity is not known …"

"Almost all thinking people agree that you should not have probability 1 for any event, other than one demonstrable by logic, like 2 x 2 = 4."

"Whatever way uncertainty is approached, probability is the only sound way to think about it."
