self interesting
There is nothing else anything like so interesting to ourselves as ourselves.
everyday fool facts
I am opposed to censorship. Censors are pretty sure fools. I have no confidence in the suppression of everyday facts.
curiosity may realizing
Curiosity is idle only to those who fail to realize that it may be a very rare and indispensable thing.
self errors groups
Rationalizing is the self-exculpation which occurs when we feel ourselves, or our group, accused of misapprehension or error.
self-esteem passion ideas
We are incredibly heedless in the formation of our beliefs, but find ourselves filled with an illicit passion for them when anyone proposes to rob us of their companionship. It is obviously not the ideas themselves that are dear to us, but our self-esteem, which is threatened.
two-sides political assuming
Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other.
