“Step back in time; look closely at the child in the very arms of his mother; see the external world reflected for the first time in the yet unclear mirror of his understanding; study the first examples which strike his eyes; listen to the first words which arouse within him the slumbering power of thought; watch the first struggles which he has to undergo; only then will you comprehend the source of his prejudices, the habits, and the passions which are to rule his life. The entire man, so to speak, comes fully formed in the wrappings of his cradle.” MenWorldFirstsLooksChildrenEyeMotherPassionSpeakUnderstandingStepsWatchesStruggleStudyExampleSourceArmsHabitFirst TimePrejudiceMirrorsStrikesHis EyesCradleBack In TimeWrappingPower Of ThoughtUnclear Author:Alexis de Tocqueville

Follies and abuses are no better for having long been established principles of folly.” LongMatterCoursesPartyPrinciplesPolicyPositionSourcePrideConflictAbusePrejudiceInstitutionsPrivilegeConservativeBelieverAcceptedRadicalFollyCreedsConservative Party Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“The British are supposed to be particularly averse to intellectuals, a prejudice closely bound up with their dislike of foreigners. Indeed, one important source of this Anglo-Saxon distaste for highbrows and eggheads was the French revolution, which was seen as an attempt to reconstruct society on the basis of abstract rational principles.” ImportantPrinciplesSourceRevolutionBasesPrejudiceBoundsBritishRationalSupposed To BeAbstractDislikeForeignersFrench RevolutionDistasteAnglo SaxonEggheads Author:Terry Eagleton
