Quotes about prejudice:


Whoever has destroyed a prejudice, a single prejudice, is a benefactor of mankind.





A judgment can be refuted, but never a prejudice.





A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.





Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.





A wise man's kingdom is his own breast: or, if he ever looks farther, it will only be to the judgment of a select few, who are free from prejudices, and capable of examining his work.





Where the environment is stupid or prejudiced or cruel, it is a sign of merit to be out of harmony with it.











Quotes

Henry David Thoreau also said...


Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.





It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.





It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.





A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts.





Love must be as much a light as it is a flame.





The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
