"Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though
they have been held in honor for many generations and in
divers places. Do not believe a thing because many people
speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of
the past. Do not believe what 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."

Gautama Buddha
