That men have an interest in knowing the world which surrounds them, and consequently that their reflection should have been applied to it at an early date, is something that everyone will readily admit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.
Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us.
It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compared to what he might have done.
Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other, because they don't see it - but there is.
Why is it so hard for men to identify with women as fellow travelers on this good Earth?
To prejudge other men's notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes.
We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become.
In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.
Reflection makes men cowards.
