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 be ignorant and admit it, rather than believing in misinformation or falsehoods. Someone who acknowledges their lack of knowledge is closer to discovering the truth compared to someone who stubbornly holds onto incorrect beliefs. In other words, admitting ignorance allows for the possibility of gaining knowledge, while believing in falsehoods only leads further away from truth.
