Quote by Frances Wright
All that I say is, examine, inquire. Look into the nature of thing

All that I say is, examine, inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions, the for and against. Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you. – Frances Wright
