Knowledge is true opinion. — Plato

Knowledge is true opinion.

Author: Plato

Insight: Your confident take on something might feel like knowledge, but it's just a strong belief until you can actually prove it. This matters because we live in a world where everyone's certain about everything—yet certainty and truth aren't the same thing.
