Michel de MontaigneΒ·1580Stubborn and ardent clinging to one's opinion is the best proof of stupidity.
ZhuangziΒ·300 BCThe Perfect Man uses his mind like a mirror β going after nothing, welcoming nothing, responding but not storing.
William WordsworthΒ·1798Nor less I deem that there are Powers / Which of themselves our minds impress; / That we can feed this mind of ours / In a wise passiveness.
