Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow firm there, firm as weeds among stones.

Prejudices in disfavor of a person fix deeper, and are much more difficult to be removed, than prejudices in favor.
Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Prejudices are not easily got rid of as an old coat which is no longer thought of.
Prejudices are what fools use for reason.
Prejudice is the child of ignorance.
A prejudice, unlike a simple misconception, is actively resistant to all evidence that would unseat it.
Prejudice is like a hair across your cheek. You can't see it, you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating.
Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice is hard.
Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart.
The prejudices of ignorance are more easily removed than the prejudices of interest; the first are all blindly adopted, the second willfully preferred.
