some of my favorites:

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." -- Buddha

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." -- Galileo Galilei

"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because if there be one, He must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfold fear." -- Thomas
Jefferson

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral
busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us
without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

"Every man takes the limit of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." -- Arthur Schopenhauer

"The passion for freedom of the mind is strong and everlasting, which is fortunate, because so is the passion to squelch it." --A. M. Rosenthal
