Three quotations I like:

"Hear the evidence.
Take counsel.
Deliberate.
Reach your decision.
Then go ahead with an easy heart; the person who forever is afflicited
with doubt defrauds himself/herself of the day and of life."

-- Edmond Cahn, on page 55 of THE MORAL DECISION, 1955.

Cahn writes later on (pg 262):

"Lose your heat, little man. Others have been dogmatically certain before
you, and they have been mistaken. ... There is no man so righteous that
he can never err ... ."

Finally, from Oliver Cromwell:
"I beseech you, brothers, by the bowells of Christ, consider if you may
be mistaken."
