Quote by Eric Hoffer

To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.


To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we state something that is already obvious to everyone, we may unintentionally undermine its validity or create doubt in its truth. By explicitly expressing the obvious, we make others second-guess and question what should be evident to them. It implies that sometimes it is better to allow the obvious to remain unacknowledged rather than risk casting doubt on its veracity by attempting to state it explicitly.
