"Many Thoughts of Many Minds A Treasury of Quotations from the Literature of Every Land and Every Age"


Human nature is so constituted that all see and judge better in the
affairs of other men than in their own.--TERENCE.
To all intents and purposes, he who will not open his eyes is, for the
present, as blind as he who cannot.--SOUTH.
The prejudices of ignorance are more easily removed than the
prejudices of interest; the first are all blindly adopted, the second
willfully preferred.--BANCROFT.
Prejudice may be considered as a continual false medium of viewing
things, for prejudiced persons not only never speak well, but also
never think well, of those whom they dislike, and the whole character
and conduct is considered with an eye to that particular thing which
offends them.--BUTLER.
Prejudice is the twin of illiberality.--G.D. PRENTICE.
Remember, when the judgment is weak the prejudice is strong.--KANE
O'HARA.
Prejudice and self-sufficiency naturally proceed from inexperience of
the world and ignorance of mankind.--ADDISON.
How immense to us appear the sins we have not committed.--MADAME NECKER.

PRESENT.--Busy not yourself in looking forward to the events of
to-morrow; but whatever may be those of the days Providence may yet
assign you neglect not to turn them to advantage.--HORACE.
Make use of time, if thou lovest eternity; know yesterday cannot be
recalled, to-morrow cannot be assured: to-day is only thine; which if
thou procrastinate, thou losest; which lost, is lost forever: one
to-day is worth two to-morrows.
