About This Quote
There are many who claim to know the truth but very few who do. Many people believe in things that are not true. They may be limited in what they believe but they still hold onto a belief without knowing the truth of the matter. If a person is a believer, he or she follows a religious or spiritual belief without knowing the true source of this belief.
If someone is knowledgeable, he or she knows the true origin of an idea and can draw on evidence to support that idea. In this quote, the author refers to learning as understanding knowledge and that it’s not enough to just believe something, you also have to know it.
