"Great minds discuss ideas;
average minds discuss events;
small minds discuss people."
"They who can give up
essential liberty
to obtain a little
temporary safety,
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
— Benjamin Franklin, 17 February 1775
"The seeker-after-truth does not place his trust in any consensus, however broad or however venerable: instead, he subjects what he has learned of it to his hard-won scientific knowledge, and he scrutinizes, measures, and verifies ...

— Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Haytham, or Alhazen,
(أبو علي، الحسن بن الحسن بن الهيثم)
(c. 965 – c. 1040 CE), the father of the scientific method
