Quotations are the fundamental distillation of a writer’s life and thinking as recorded in words and phrases for posterity. Through them the reader is afforded the unique opportunity to share in the thoughts, the life and the experiences of the writer. In a special way, they offer the reader a window into the mind of the author and hopefully an inducement to read further and learn more about the author and the story he relates.

On a wider scale, they are, as William Feather wrote, “the wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages preserved into perpetuity“, and as such they are available for the enrichment and enhancement of humanity, regardless of age, sex, race, educational or economic status. They are indeed, as the Talmud states, “food for the famished”.

The collection of quotations presented in this blog, have been chosen by me because of their special impact upon me. They have been published so that you too, may experience the joy I have had over the years reading them and getting to know the authors.

I trust that you will come to know the feeling of deep satisfaction possible from reading them, searching out the author and meditating upon their meaning and their impact on your life.

PREJUDICE

Prejudice is the child of ignorance. ………..William Hazlitt.

Prejudice is not so much dependent upon natural antipathy,
as it is upon education. ……… David Ruggles.

Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart.
……Marguerite, Countess of Blessington.

Our Prejudices are like physical infirmities,
We cannot do what they prevent us from doing. ………John L. Spalding

When the judgement is weak, the Prejudice is strung. .......Kane O'Hara

Opinions founded on Prejudice are always sustained
with the greatest violence. ......,Francis Jeffrey

The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid Prejudice.
….. Mark Twain
