"Impartial - unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy"
- Ambrose Bierce
About this Quote
This quote by Ambrose Bierce speaks to the importance of impartiality in decision-making. By being impartial, one is unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from taking either side of a controversy. This means that one is not swayed by any potential personal gain, but instead is focused on making a decision based on what is right and just. This is an important concept in decision-making, as it ensures that decisions are made without bias or prejudice. It also ensures that decisions are made with the best interests of all parties in mind, rather than just the interests of one individual or group. Impartiality is essential for making fair and just decisions, and this quote serves as a reminder of the importance of this concept.
