Story of My Life, It Seems, Embodied in A Quote

When I look at my old report cards, which my Mum so kindly retained over the years, one particular comment appears on all of them.  Starting in the third grade.  John is a great student, blah, blah, blah, but he has a tendency to always question authority or pursue his own way.  Every report card seems to state this in one way or another.  Hmm.  Well, at least I seem to have started emulating some fairly heavyweight individuals at a young age.

"We ought never to allow ourselves to be persuaded of the truth of anything unless on the evidence of our own reason."

Rene Descartes

Quote borrowed from Russell Whitaker at Survival Arts.
