About this quote
This line is strong for science, judgment, and decision-making. It reminds readers that truth is not owned by confidence; it is approached through patience, testing, and intellectual honesty.
When to use it
- Use it when a decision needs evidence, honesty, and the courage to revise an old belief.
- Keep it near research or analysis work as a reminder that truth is usually found through discipline, not certainty.
- Return to it when being right is becoming less important than understanding what is real.
