Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein

To convince someone of the truth, it is not enough to state it, but rather one must find the path from error to truth.

To convince someone of the truth, it is not enough to state

Summary

Mere assertion of truth is insufficient when persuading someone. Simply stating the truth will not necessarily convince them. Instead, it is important to show them the process of how they can transition from their current state of error or misconception to a state of accepting the truth. This quote implies that successful persuasion requires the ability to guide others through a journey of understanding, where they can actively engage with the path that leads them to the truth.
