Who said “It is just as impossible to help reform by conciliating prejudice as it is by buying…”?

“Prejudice is the child of ignorance.”

“Prejudice, n. A vagrant opinion without visible means of support.”

“Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices -- just recognize them.”

“Prejudice and self-sufficiency naturally proceed from inexperience of the world, and ignorance of mankind.”

“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.”

“Good government is the outcome of private virtue.”

“People who love soft methods and hate iniquity forget this, -- that reform consists in taking a bone from a dog. Philosophy will not do it.”

“Our goodness comes solely from thinking on goodness; our wickedness from thinking on wickedness. We too are the victims of our own contemplation.”

“Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.”

“A political organization is a transferable commodity. You could not find a better way of killing virtue than by packing it into one of these contraptions which some gang of thieves is sure to find useful.”

“All progress is experimental.”
