Quote by Horace

What we learn only through the ears makes less impression up

Summary

This quote suggests that information received through sight has a more significant impact on our minds than information received through hearing. Visual stimuli, which we perceive with our eyes, are deemed more reliable and have a stronger influence on our understanding and memory. Unlike auditory input, visual presentations provide tangible proof that leaves a lasting impression on our consciousness. Thus, what we see firsthand holds greater weight and effectiveness in shaping our thoughts and beliefs.
