Men need knowledge in order to overpower their passions and master their prejudices.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The natural desire of good men is knowledge.
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.
Men are limited by the knowledge of their minds, the worth of their characters and the principles upon which they are building their lives.
Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Men have to descend from their pedestal and learn how to be more broadminded and spiritual.
Most men, when they think they are thinking, are merely rearranging their prejudices.
Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it.
From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.
