Postulates and axioms.
An axiom is a statement that is accepted without proof. Proofs are based on statements that are already established, so therefore without axioms we would have no starting point.
The statements that require proof in a logical system are theorems and corollaries.

A rule or a statement that is accepted without proof is a postulate.
