But scepticism, as we know, can never be thoroughly applied, else life would come to a standstill: something we must believe in and do, and whatever that something may be called, it is virtually our own judgment, even when it seems like the most slavish reliance on another.

然而，我们知道，怀疑不可能贯彻到底，否则生活就会停滞：我们总得相信些什么、做些什么；不论那被称为什么，实质上都是我们自己的判断，即使看起来像是对他人最盲目的依赖。
