Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
About this quote
Some wisdom quotes are useful once. Others stay with you for years. This line from Friedrich Nietzsche falls in the second category, especially when seen regularly rather than read once and forgotten.
Wisdom quotes are usually not loud. They are the lines you come back to quietly, years after first reading them. Keeping one visible on your phone is a way of slowly letting a useful idea become part of how you think. Drop it on a wallpaper with the Create tool and you get a ready to use image that keeps the idea in front of you without any extra effort.
