“I know that previously I would not have dared to express myself so explicitly about so uncertain a matter. I can take this risk because I am now in my eighth decade, and the changing opinions of men scarcely impress me any more; the thoughts of the old masters are of greater value to me than the philosophical prejudices of the Western mind.” KnowsMenMindI CanMatterValuesOpinionGreaterRiskMastersPrejudicePhilosophicalWesternDecadesUncertainImpress Author:Carl Jung
“I saw the man my friendwants pardoned, Thomas Flinton. He is a bright, good-looking fellow.... Of his innocence all are confident. The governor strikes me as a man seeking popularity, who lacks the independence and manhood to do right at the risk of losing popularity. Afraid of what will be said. He is prejudiced against the Irish and Democrats.” MenSaidSawsRiskHe ManLosingPrejudiceFellowsIndependenceDemocratSeekingStrikesInnocenceGovernorsPopularityManhoodLooking Good Author:Rutherford B.

“Often, very talented technical people find it extraordinarily difficult to take the viewpoint of customers, who are often ignorant about the technology and who may have strong and perhaps incorrect prejudices about it. The technical people may believe, deep down, that they know better what customers "should" need. Customers, of course, have a different perspective. They want products that will solve customer problems and provide other customer benefits, and will do so without undue risk or cost. Not infrequently, customers view advanced technology itself as a risk.” PeopleBelieveDifferentProblemStrongDifficultTechnologyRiskPerspectivePrejudiceIgnorantDifferent Perspective Author:Barbara Bund
“Consider him in his highest incarnation: the university professor. What is his function? Simply to pass on to fresh generations of numskulls a body of so-called knowledge that is fragmentary, unimportant, and, in large part, untrue. His whole professional activity is circumscribed by the prejudices, vanities and avarices of his university trustees, i.e., a committee of soap-boilers, nail manufacturers, bank-directors and politicians. The moment he offends these vermin he is undone. He cannot so much as think aloud without running a risk of having them fan his pantaloons.” ThinkingWholeMomentsBodyRunningEducationRiskGenerationsFansPoliticianActivityDirectorsFunctionPrejudiceUniversityVanityProfessorsNailsCommitteesSoapAvariceUndoneUnimportantUntrueTrusteesVerminBoilerUniversity Professors Author:H.

“Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice. We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story. What is bravery, and what is bravado?

“I do assure you that I am not one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second time.
