Believe Nothing - Buddha

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places.

Believe nothing because many people speak of it.

Believe nothing on the faith of the sages of the past.

Believe nothing that you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you.

Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.

After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

-Buddha
