Don't beleive anything......

"Don't believe anything simply because you've heard it,

Don't believe anything simply because it is spoken-

and rumoured by many,

Don't beleive anything simply because it is written-

found in your religious book,

Don't believe anything merely on the authority -

of your teachers and elders,

Don't beleive in traditions because-

they have been handed for many generations,

But after obeservations and analysis,

When you find that agrees with reason,

and conducive to the good,

and benefit of one and all,

then beleive it,

and live up to it.

(Budhha 563-483 BC)
