62 Uncertainty Quotes That Give You Clarity In Unsure Times

Uncertainty

How great is it to know that you have made it this far in life, even with all the uncertainties surrounding life? Life is uncertain. No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Living is like closing your eyes and walking on a rope. You know that your next step should be right ahead, but you are not sure whether you will step on the rope or miss it and fall over. But even with such uncertainty, you have been able to come this far.

You have done a great job. No matter where you are standing right now. Whether you are feeling good about your journey this far or disappointed at how you've faired, one thing you should be is proud of yourself.

You have been able to walk courageously even with everything around you being uncertain. You were never sure about your friendships, relationships, decisions, goals, and dreams, but you remained faithful. And that's how you are here.

You had moments of falling, betrayal, hurt, pain, fear, and even losing hope, but you still walked on. And you should not turn back now. Life remains uncertain, but you know more than you did five years ago.

You are wiser and can make better decisions at this point. Even if you are faced with uncertainty, you know how to walk by faith, but you still know where you should use common sense.

Sometimes our intuition speaks to us by giving us that feeling of uncertainty. If you feel unsure and no longer confident about something, take a step back. That may be your conscience warning you.

It's better to wait things out until you feel sure about going ahead with them than to turn a blind eye to your feelings of uncertainty and regret later. Read through our quotes on uncertainty for inspiration.

It was the next day. I had cancelled my appointment to speak before the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce. It was raining. The ceiling leaked. The rain dripped down through the ceiling and went “spat, spat, spat, a spat a spat, spat, spat, spat, a spat, spat, spat, a spat, a spat, a spat, spat, spat, spat…” The sake kept me warm. But a warm what? A warm zero. Here I was 55 years old and I didn’t have a pot to catch rain in. My father had warned me that I would end up diddling myself on some stranger’s back porch in Arkansas. And I still had time to make it.

If you’re going through difficult times today, hold steady. It will change soon. If you are experiencing smooth sailing and easy times now, brace yourself. It will change soon. The only thing you can be certain of is change.

Then after all this reverse the procedure. Have a good love affair. And the thing you might learn is that nobody knows anything — not the State, nor the mice the garden hose or the North Star. And if you ever catch me teaching a creative writing class and you read this back to me I’ll give you a straight A right up the pickle barrel.

we drove on and on, past little villages and both good things and bad things were happening to the people in those villages too, but I still was nothing but arms and ears and eyes and maybe there'd be either some good luck for me or more death tomorrow.

Who knows the ways of the universe? Where and when a raindrop might fall? How strongly a wind will blow? Is it all just an accident? Or could it be destiny?... Accident? Or destiny? Little does Po know that it was just such an accident that brought the Furious Five together all those years ago. This is the story of how the Five came to be.

I’d never been born again with the baptism and weeping and all that, but it couldn't feel much better than being born again as a guy with no known past. I thought of the people I'd read about — John F. Kennedy, James Joyce, Humphrey Bogart — who went to boarding school, and their adventures — Kennedy, for example, loved pranks. I thought of the Great Perhaps and the things that might happen and the people I might meet and who my roommate might be.

We know that God is in control and we all have ups and downs and fears and uncertainty sometimes. Sometimes even on an hourly basis we need to keep praying and keep our peace in God and remind ourselves on the promises of God that never fails.

Hope — Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us… A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

He held out his hand to Sophie, just like Mrs. Pentstemmon, but a little less royally. Sophie levered herself up, wondering if she was meant to kiss this hand or not. But since she felt more like raising her stick and beating the King over the head with it, she shook the King's hand and gave a creaking little curtsy.

Almost relationships mostly end without closure. You may never know why things ended or why it fizzled out, was it you or was it them—and so many other unanswered questions. You will learn that if the relationship was never defined in the first place, then it will end without explanations too.

We demand closure as though our lives were put together as neatly as novels, but the fact of the matter is they’re not. In real life, relationships are messy and poorly written, ending too early or too late, and sometimes in the middle of a sentence.
