That which makes us believe so easily that others have defects is that we all so easily believe what we wish.

Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. (Roughly: It's easy for men to believe what they want to.)

Everybody’s ideas seem obvious to them.

Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.

Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish

Most people believe almost anything they see in print.

Everybody is following somebody. Everybody has faith in something and somebody. We are all believers.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

Everybody must have a fantasy.

A credulous mind . . . finds most delight in believing
strange things, and the stranger they are the easier they pass
with him; but never regards those that are plain and
feasible, for every man can believe such.
