Don't judge a man by his opinions, but what his opinions have made of him.

A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens.

A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens.

there are very few who can think, but every man wants to have an opinion; and what remains but to take it ready-made from others, instead of forming opinions for himself?

Men are disturbed not by the things which happen, but by the opinion about the things.

A man is literally what he thinks.

To judge a man means nothing other than to ask: What content does he give to the form of humanity? What concept should we have of humanity if he were its only representative?

Men whose only concern is other people's opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste; some of them would be capable of good acting in front of a good audience. A decent man plays his part to the best of his ability, regardless of the taste of the gallery.

Man is what he believes.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

Men should be what they seem.

Just because a man is dressed in a clean white robe does not mean his heart and hands are clean. Any man who neglects his conscience is a dangerous animal. Never judge a man by his image. Images can be bought or produced by any Hollywood producer, marketing team or fleet of stylists. Even kids know how to wear amazing costumes for Halloween. Always judge a man by the coloring of his heart and only his heart. Truth can be found in his record of actions, not intentions.

For a man is justly despised who has one opinion in history and another in politics, one for abroad and another at home, one for opposition and another for office.
