Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
"Do not believe in anything
simply because you have heard
it. Do not believe in anything
simply because it is spoken and
rumored by many. Do not believe
in anything simply because it is
found written in your religious
books. Do not believe in anything
merely on the authority of your
teachers and elders. Do not
believe in traditions because they
have been handed down for
many generations. But after
observation and analysis, when
you find that anything agrees
with reason and is conducive to
the good and benefit of one and
all, then accept it and live up to
it.”
