Quotes:
"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, or merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason, then accept it and live up to it."
Buddha
"We'll see it when we believe it."
"When people show you who they are, believe them."
Maya Angelou
"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."
- Woodrow Wilson
"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities."
- Voltaire

- Thoreau
