There is no joy like the resolution of doubts

("And all this I have written only to illuminate the sides of doubt on this matter, and may it be His will that God always enlighten our eyes in His Torah and merit us days of light and joy, and there is no joy like the resolution of doubts" - Responsa Minchat Shlomo, likewise: "Enlightenment in a doubtful matter gladdens the heart, for there is no joy in the world like the resolution of doubts" - Metzudat David on Proverbs 15:30, likewise: "And just as they said there is no joy like the resolution of doubts, so too, there is no sorrow like the persistence of doubts" - Responsa Sho'el VeNish'al, part 2, Yoreh De'ah 156)
