Who said "Question Everything...Accept Nothing"?

Question

Or, something REALLY close!
I can't find it in my "Search", so I need some help here!

PS...Show proof, or I'm going to claim it as my own! :^)

But, did Galilieo ACTUALLY say that, or was that the paper's AUTHOR who said that?

Hello Wizard of Oz:
Yes, I , the author of Article IX : Galileo's Law of Constant Acceleration am, perhaps, the first to use "Question Everything, Accept Nothing". This saying is especially true in Physics were it is for certain that we question not nearly as much as we should. The text where I used the saying was written and posted to the web and filed with the US Copyright Office in the year 2002 is as follows:

(9) Galileo is best known for his light-hearted ability to question, dismantle and reassemble all of man's creations that, for him, lacked sensibility. Against his intellect and wit, no nonsensical concept could stand firm. If we learn anything at all from Galileo let it be this unusual ability of his. Question Everything - Accept Nothing. I say "unusual" for ironically, the polar opposite, "question nothing, accept everything" is the standard guide by which a student is most likely to succeed in ascending through the ranks of the modern version of the ancient science of Physics.

Thanks for your interest. So many have written so much using the English language that there is a good chance I am not the first to use these words. I'll drop the claim if shown an earlier usage.

My latest saying is "Success is Highly Overrated". Most of us strive for some form of success. But the cost of success is much higher than we are willing to admit. Often I think the cost exceeds any and all value derived from the Success.

Sincerely yours,

Answer 5

I dont know but that is so MY quote!!! I question everything (like I am very analytical, plus someone has to give me details for why/how they said something/did something. like if someone says "oh I dont like her" i'd be like "why" "what's wrong with her" "did she do something to you" etc"). I dont accept anything unless I know all the facts. Like if someone tells me "There are 50000 minutes in a year" i'd be like "how do you know?" "where'd you hear that?". Like I need specifics with everything you know. It's so hard to explain what I've been trying to say, but basically this quote "Question everything, accept nothing" is so true in my life.
