Quote by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

...if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years

Summary

This quote suggests that even gaining one certain and undeniable truth every decade from philosophical writers would be enough to satisfy our intellectual needs. It emphasizes the value of obtaining profound insights over time rather than expecting a multitude of truths all at once. By acknowledging the rarity of absolute truths in philosophy, it highlights the significance of cherishing even small increments of knowledge that contribute to our collective understanding.
