“Whatever
tends to standardize the community, to establish fixed and rigid
modes of thought, tends to fossilize society. If we all believed
the same thing and thought the same thoughts and applied the same
valuations to all the occurrences about us, we should reach a
state of equilibrium closely akin to an intellectual and spiritual
paralysis. It is the ferment of ideas, the clash of disagreeing
judgments, the privilege of the individual to develop his own
thoughts and shape his own character, that makes progress possible.
It is not possible to learn much from those who uniformly agree
with us. But many useful things are learned from those who disagree
with us; and even when we can gain nothing our differences are
likely to do us no harm.”
