I think just as you do, Socrates, that although it is very difficult to achieve certainty, it is utterly feeble not to use every effort in testing the available theories, or to leave off before we come to the end of our resources. It is our duty either to ascertain the facts, or, if this is impossible, to select the most dependable theory which human intelligence can supply, and use it as a raft to ride the seas of life. Simmias, Phaedo, 86A
