Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of careful examination and patience when it comes to determining the truth. It suggests that truth is confirmed when we thoroughly inspect and critically evaluate the available information, taking our time to ensure accuracy.

Thus, this quote highlights the need to be cautious, diligent, and objective when seeking the truth and to beware of hastily accepting information without proper scrutiny.
