Quote by George Orwell

Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.


Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are considered "saints," or those perceived to possess great moral or virtuous qualities, should not escape scrutiny or judgement. It implies that even those who are highly esteemed should not be automatically assumed to be free from wrongdoing, and therefore, it is necessary to apply critical assessment and evidence to prove their innocence. The quote underscores the importance of questioning assumptions and maintaining a level of skepticism, as even the most revered individuals may have flaws or commit harmful actions that need to be revealed and addressed.
