Excellent Journey

quotations / wisdom

See for yourself

June 29, 2015 Eric Johnson

“Place no head above your own.” –The Buddha

Don’t believe something because someone says to believe.  

Use your own head. 

See for yourself. 

Follow reason. 

Discard what doesn’t hold up to honest inquiry. 

Pursue truth, no matter the cost.
