Quote by Oscar Wilde

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the willingness of someone to sacrifice their life for a belief does not guarantee the truth or validity of that belief. It highlights the fallacy of equating someone's sacrifice with the truthfulness of their cause. Instead, it encourages critical thinking and the need to examine and evaluate ideas based on evidence and logic, rather than blindly accepting beliefs solely on the basis of sacrifices made in their name.
