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.
