Truth Versus Error and the Authority of Men

An error is not the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected; and if it were put to vote anywhere in the world, I doubt, as things are managed, whether truth would have the majority, at least while the authority of men, and not the examination of things, must be its measure.—Locke's Essay on Human Understanding, book 4, chap. 3, sec. 6, note. (Appendix No. IX.)
