Prejudice

The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.
- Schopenhauer, Arthur

Best Quotes about Prejudice

1.
Without the aid of prejudice and custom I should not be able to find my way across the room.
William Hazlitt

2.
There are, in every age, new errors to be rectified and new prejudices to be opposed.
Samuel Johnson

3.
We do not want the men of another color for our brothers-in-law, but we do want them for our brothers.
Washington, Booker T.

4.
Prejudice is a great timesaver. It enables you to form opinions without bothering to get facts.

5.
For those who do not think, it is best at least to rearrange their prejudices once in a while.
Burbank, Luther

Eastwood, Clint

Kettering, Charles F.

8.
Two things reduce prejudice: education and laughter.
Peter, Laurence J.

9.
Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests. It is for this reason that most truths are nothing but prejudices.
Gourmont, Remy De

10.
America owes most of its social prejudices to the exaggerated religious opinions of the different sects which were so instrumental in establishing the colonies.
Cooper, James F.

11.
Prejudice is the sole author of infamies: how many acts are so qualified by an opinion forged out of naught but prejudice!
Sade, Marquis De

12.
No wise man can have a contempt for the prejudices of others; and he should even stand in a certain awe of his own, as if they were aged parents and monitors. They may in the end prove wiser than he.
Hazlitt, William

13.
One can only give an unbiased opinion about things that do not interest one, which is no doubt the reason an unbiased opinion is always valueless. The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing.
Wilde, Oscar

14.
Destroy it. There may be a redistribution of the land, but the natural inequality of men soon re-creates an inequality of possessions and privileges, and raises to power a new minority with essentially the same instincts as the old.
Durant, William J.

15.
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices -- just recognize them.
Murrow, Edward R.

16.
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.
Bronte, Charlotte

17.
If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon.
George Aiken

It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
Henry David Thoreau

19.
Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest of violence.
Francis Jeffrey

20.
It is just as impossible to help reform by conciliating prejudice as it is by buying votes. Prejudice is the enemy. Whoever is not for you is against you.
Chapman, John Jay

21.
A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
William James

22.
Sometimes we feel the loss of a prejudice as a loss of vigor.
Hoffer, Eric

23.
Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest violence.
Proverb, Hebrew

24.
There is no prejudice so strong as that which arises from a fancied exemption from all prejudice.
Hazlitt, William

25.
I wander if there really is a brave man with a really good imagination? If hypocrisy was destructive to the environment the world would have ended a long, long time ago.

26.
Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out.
Sydney Smith

27.
Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself.
Howells, William Dean

28.
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
Gide, Andre

29.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.
Fields, W. C.

30.
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

33.
Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

34.
We still live in a world in which a significant fraction of people, including women, believe that a woman belongs and wants to belong exclusively in the home.
Sussman, Rosalyn

35.
The most learned are often the most narrow minded.
Hazlitt, William

36.
Prejudice is being down on something you're not up on.

37.
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Huxley, Aldous

38.
When the judgement's weak, The prejudice is strong.
Kane O'Hara

39.
Nobody outside of a baby carriage or a judge's chamber believes in an unprejudiced point of view.
Lillian Hellman

40.
Of my two handicaps, being female put many more obstacles in my path than being black.
Chisholm, Shirley Anita

41.
Prejudice not being funded on reason cannot be removed by argument.
Johnson, Samuel

42.

Shaftesbury, Lord

49.
Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life.

50.
The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour on it, the more it will contract.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
