Summary

This quote, attributed to English philosopher and scientist Dr. Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, emphasizes the importance of relying on factual information rather than personal biases or assumptions.

Through experimentation, we can verify and validate our ideas, ensuring a more accurate understanding of the world around us. By emphasizing the supremacy of facts and the scientific method, Lavoisier urges us to engage in objective inquiry and discard subjective interpretations.
