Quote by John Locke
It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.
Summary
This quote by John Locke emphasizes the distinction between merely pointing out someone's mistake and actually providing them with a valid alternative or solution. It suggests that it is not enough to merely highlight someone's error; one must also offer them a clear understanding of the truth or the correct information that counteracts their mistaken belief. Simply recognizing a mistake is not as impactful or productive as helping someone gain knowledge and insight to replace their erroneous views.
