"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible."
― St. Thomas Aquinas
Yes I do.To those who believe, no explanation is necessary.To those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.

Joseph Dunninger, a famous mentalist and magician, is often credited with this quote. It emphasizes that one's actions and achievements speak for themselves, requiring no additional justification or explanation to those who truly understand.
For those who do NOT believe, no proof can ever be enough. For those who DO believe, no proof is necessary.
teach necessary things and explanation to those people who don't know how to understand
Some people believe in ghosts because they think it is the only possible explanation for certain situations that seem otherworldly. Others believe in ghosts because they believe people go on living after the body dies, and that those people have the ability to manifest themselves as ghosts.
You write down the facts/observation you have and what those. You then come up with an possible explanation for what the facts/observations tell you . Following that you describe what you will do to test the validity of your explanation.
Express your disagreement with those who are imposing rules that you do not believe are necessary.
Give any supporting facts, opinions, or reasons. When giving an explanation, keep these questions in mind. Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Answer as many of those as possible, and you should have a pretty solid answer.
As I know the saying, it came from Thomas Aquinas. The original quote was not about 'understanding' but about religious belief, specifically "faith." The original quote is, "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible." Great quotes like this often get twisted and 'massaged' to fit the borrower's purpose.
Matthew 19:26 Looking them in the face, Jesus said to them: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."Mark 9:23 - Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." [NKJV]
