Variant

Someone at the cookout says "studies show." You ask which studies. The subject changes.

"Nullius in verba."
Take nobody's word for it.
— Horace · motto of the Royal Society, 1662
Condensed from Epistles I.1, line 14, c. 20 BC. We check every line against a primary source.

Horace's full line is nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri: bound to swear by the words of no master. In 1662 the Royal Society trimmed it to nullius in verba and adopted it as their standard.

Beneath the Latin and English, both sources: the poet, and the scientists who borrowed him.

Wear it where people say "trust me."
