I am satisfied that we are less convinced by what we hear than by what we see

I am satisfied that we are less convinced by what we hear than by what we see Picture Quote #1

I am satisfied that we are less convinced by what we hear than by what we see

Herodotus, often referred to as the "Father of History," was a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BC. His work, "The Histories," is considered one of the earliest works of history in Western literature. In his writings, Herodotus often emphasized the importance of seeing things for oneself rather than relying solely on hearsay or secondhand accounts.

The quote, "I am satisfied that we are less convinced by what we hear than by what we see," reflects Herodotus' belief in the importance of firsthand observation and experience. He understood that people are more likely to believe something when they have seen it with their own eyes, rather than simply hearing about it from others. This idea is central to Herodotus' approach to history, as he believed that true understanding could only come from direct observation and investigation.
