They must find it hard to take Truth for authority who have

Summary

This quote highlights the difficulty faced by those who have relied on authority figures or institutions for their understanding of truth. When authority is mistakenly equated with truth, it becomes challenging for individuals to comprehend and accept truth without the validation or endorsement of established authorities. This implies that relying solely on external sources of authority can hinder one's ability to question, think critically, and form independent judgements about what is true and factual. It encourages individuals to look beyond authority and explore truth on their own terms.
