Quote by Thomas Jefferson
Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.
Summary
This quote suggests that it is better to admit one's lack of knowledge and remain ignorant about a subject, rather than believing something that is false or incorrect. It implies that the person who believes nothing is closer to the truth because they haven't formed any wrong beliefs. In essence, being uninformed is seen as a lesser evil than holding onto misconceptions.
