About this Quote

This quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld speaks with the propensity of individuals with mediocre minds to turn down or dismiss anything that is beyond their own understanding. This might be a new idea, a different point of view, or a concept that is too complex for them to understand. Individuals with mediocre minds frequently lack the capability to think seriously and deeply, and so they are unable to appreciate and even think about ideas that are outside of their own minimal understanding. This quote acts as a tip to not be too fast to dismiss something just since it is unknown or hard to understand. Rather, it encourages us to be unbiased and to aim to expand our knowledge and understanding.
