"Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also"

- Carl Jung

About this Quote

In this quote, Carl Jung recommends that understanding is not only based upon truth, but also on mistake. He stresses that making mistakes and experiencing errors can play a vital role in the process of getting knowledge, as we frequently gain from our errors or from the mistakes of others. This idea is especially important in the field of science, where errors and stopped working experiments can lead to new discoveries and advancements. Jung's statement encourages us to embrace our mistakes and failures as chances for development, rather than seeing them as limitations to success. Ultimately, we need to accept that mistakes are an unavoidable component of the journey towards knowledge and reality.
