Phrase/word that is a synonym to “Question Everything”
What are some phrase/word synonyms for the phrase 'Question Everything'. My friend came up with nullius in verba, which I really like, and I was wondering what others are out there?
Edit (from comments): Perhaps synonym was not a good word-my vocabulary is not the best. I am just looking for phrases that portray a similar idea. The context would be potential tattoo phrases.

This is confusing me—are you asking for something in English? Because the example you give is in Latin. Are you asking for a synonym? Because the example you give is not a synonym, but rather something is vaguely related. Question everything is itself very literal—are you looking for something more like a proverb? In which context do you want to use this phrase or word?

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is an absurd one." - Voltair
In context, he's stating that there is no consice evidence to define God, and as such no certainty as to God's nature can exist, but doubt when considering the existence of God has consequences in Christian theologies. In any context, it's still reasonable to assert that no absolute certainty exists, only a hypothesis that's yet to be disproved, and any doubt to that hypothesis can result in ridicule, ostracism, etc. Still, it's better than blindy embracing 'the truth'. Anyway, that's how I interpret it. Open to interpretation as it is, the statement ironically proves and disproves itself.

In context, he's stating that there is no consice evidence to define God, and as such no certainty as to God's nature can exist, but doubt when considering the existence of God has consequences in Christian theologies. In any context, it's still reasonable to assert that no absolute certainty exists, only a hypothesis that's yet to be disproved, and any doubt to that hypothesis can result in ridicule, ostracism, etc. Still, it's better than blindy embracing 'the truth'. Anyway, that's how I interpret it. Open to interpretation as it is, the statement ironically proves and disproves itself.

In context, he's stating that there is no consice evidence to define God, and as such no certainty as to God's nature can exist, but doubt when considering the existence of God has consequences in Christian theologies. In any context, it's still reasonable to assert that no absolute certainty exists, only a hypothesis that's yet to be disproved, and any doubt to that hypothesis can result in ridicule, ostracism, etc. Still, it's better than blindy embracing 'the truth'. Anyway, that's how I interpret it. Open to interpretation as it is, the statement ironically proves and disproves itself.

Welcome to EL&U. Could you explain what this quote means in terms of the question asked? Voltaire is a great philosopher and I'm interested in hearing more about this.

This is confusing me—are you asking for something in English? Because the example you give is in Latin. Are you asking for a synonym? Because the example you give is not a synonym, but rather something is vaguely related. Question everything is itself very literal—are you looking for something more like a proverb? In which context do you want to use this phrase or word?

You could go with: Think! But that may be too obscure to those who don't.

Perhaps synonym was not a good word-my vocabulary is not the best. I am just looking for phrases that portray a similar idea. The context would be potential tattoo phrases.

Okay, that works. If you're looking for a word for a person who questions everything, Daniel's answer is perfect.
