Quotations:
“I would wish you to think nothing good, or bad either, upon my decision. The first and the last thing I would say to man is, think for yourself.” — Epicurus, in "A Few Days In Athens"
This quote reminds me of these other quotations that I love:
“
“With eager judgement weigh things, and, if you see them true, lift your hands and yield, or, if it is false, gird yourself to battle.”
Lucretius⊡
“
“We must come with our eyes and our ears, our hearts and our understandings open; anxious, not to find ourselves right, but to discover what is right; asserting nothing which we cannot prove; believing nothing which we have not examined.”
Epicurus, in "A Few Days In Athens"⊡
