Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 237. 
Today we have another one by Thomas
Jefferson. Remember Thomas Jefferson of
course was a former president. The third
President of the United States. He's also
famous for writing the Declaration of
Independence and he's famous for many
many other quotes.  I've covered a number
of them by him before. So let's look at
today's quote though "It's always better
to have no ideas than false ones ; to
believe nothing than to believe what is
wrong. Okay. So what does he mean by this ?  Let's look at 
the note here. What Thomas Jefferson is
trying to tell you with this quote is
that you must always be a truth seeker.
If you don't seek the truth you can
never be sure what you know is the truth
or correct. To blindly believe others. So
when others just tell you ..if you just
automatically accept everything that
they tell you , that's kind of just
blindly believing without checking
yourself. It will lead to many false ideas
and believing things that are wrong. Even
if the truth is hard to believe or the
truth sometimes is an ugly truth. Well an
ugly truth is something that we find out
is the truth but it's not it's not what
we hoped or wished. It's something that's
actually disappointing or sometimes even
shocking. We say something is in an ugly
truth. It is still better to know the
truth. Without it you can never be sure
you are on the right path. Okay. Anyway , this
is kind of what he means by it.  I hope
you got it.  I hope it was food for
thought. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye
