1. Ἡ περὶ τῆς ἀληθείας θεωρία τῇ μὲν χαλεπὴ τῇ δὲ ῥᾳδία. σημεῖον δὲ τὸ
μήτ᾿ ἀξίως μηδένα δύνασθαι θιγεῖν αὐτῆς μήτε πάντας ἀποτυγχάνειν, ἀλλ᾿
ἕκαστον λέγειν τι περὶ τῆς φύσεως, καὶ καθ᾿ ἕνα μὲν ἢ μηθὲν ἢ μικρὸν
ἐπιβάλλειν αὐτῇ, ἐκ πάντων δὲ συναθροιζομένων γίγνεσθαί τι μέγεθος

THE investigation of the #truth is in one way hard, in another easy.
An indication of this is found in the fact that no one is able to
attain the truth adequately, while, on the other hand, we do not collectively
fail, but every one says something true about the nature of things,
and while individually we contribute little or nothing to the truth,
by the union of all a considerable amount is amassed.
[#Aristotle, #Metaphysics]
