Reason

I am a Believer/Follower of the following Sanskrit Quote:

"Yukti Yuktam Vacho Grahyam, Baladhapi Shukadhapi    
Yukti Heenam Vachasthyajyam, Vrudhdhadhapi Shukadhapi "

(Forgive me if you donot know Sanskrit. Neither Do I. But this was one beauty I could not pass up. You want to know what it means ??? Read on...)

Essence : Anything if told(Vachaha) with(Yuktam) proper reasoning (Yukti), even if the speaker is a small child(Balaha) or a parrot(Shukaha), should be accepted/ingratiated (Grahyam). At the same time, anything if told without sound reasoning, must be abandoned(thyajyam), even if given by an old man(Vrudhaha) or by the Great Sage Shuka (Supposed to be a very wise man in Hindu Myth with the face of a parrot).
