Wisdom in Space<p>I think that it's an honorable thing to change your mind occasionally. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or lack of integrity. I believe men are united by their doubts and separated by their convictions. Therefore, it's a very good thing to have doubts. Doubts are the greatest spur to activity that I know of.<br> -- Peter Ustinov</p><p>⬆ <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wisdom</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Quotes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PeterUstinov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterUstinov</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Doubt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Doubt</span></a></p><p>⬇ <a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Panorama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Panorama</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sealions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sealions</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Beach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Beach</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Galapagos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Galapagos</span></a></p>
