Joseph De Maistre Quotes
Nothing Is More Vital To Him Than Prejudices. Let Us Not Take This Word In Bad Part. It Does Not Necessarily Signify False Ideas, But Only, In The Strict Sense Of The Word, Any Opinions Adopted Without Examination. Now, These Kinds Of Opinion Are Essential To Man; They Are The Real Basis Of His Happiness And The Palladium Of Empires. Without Them, There Can Be Neither Religion, Morality, Nor Government. There Should Be A State Religion Just As There Is A State Political System; Or Rather, Religion And Political Dogmas, Mingled And Merged Together, Should Together Form A General Or National Mind Sufficiently Strong To Repress The Aberrations Of The Individual Reason Which Is, Of Its Nature, The Mortal Enemy Of Any Association Whatever Because It Gives Birth Only To Divergent Opinions.
