Siddartha Gautama, o Buddha, Kalama Sutra 17:49

‎Não se apresse em acreditar em nada, mesmo se estiver escrito nas escrituras sagradas. Não se apresse em acreditar em nada só porque um professor famoso que disse. Não acredite em nada apenas porque a maioria concordou que é a verdade. Não acredite em mim. Você deveria testar qualquer coisa que as pessoas dizem através de sua própria experiência antes de aceitar ou rejeitar algo.

====Evita Peron


To contemplate is to look at shadows.
