Quote by Edmund Burke

Facts are to the mind what food is to the body.

Summary

This quote suggests that facts are essential nourishment for the mind, similar to how food is essential for the body. Like food provides vitamins and energy for physical health, facts provide knowledge and understanding for mental development. Just as a lack of food can lead to weakened physical health, a lack of facts can result in a limited and underdeveloped mind. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the significance of facts in stimulating mental growth and maintaining a healthy and nourished mind.
