Quote by Socrates
Whenever, therefore, people are deceived and form opinions wide of the truth, it is clear that the error has slid into their minds through the medium of certain resemblances to that truth.
Summary
This quote suggests that when people are deceived or hold opinions that are far from the truth, it is because they have been influenced by certain similarities or resemblances to the truth. It implies that deception often occurs when falsehoods are presented in a way that is closely tied to elements of truth, making it easier for people to be misled. Thus, the quote highlights the importance of recognizing and questioning these deceptive resemblances in order to seek and understand the actual truth.
