Notable quotes

“Men despise what they do not understand.”
— Origin unknown; reported as an "old proverb" in The Consensus: Volumes 7-8 (1922), p. 35; appears as part of a larger phrase in Hugh James Rose, The Commission and Consequent Duties of the Clergy (1831), p. xiv: "The ' little learning' which makes men despise what they do not understand, must finally, (though, perhaps, not till it has ruined what it cannot repair,) give place to that more benevolent wisdom which, as it seeks to promote God's will by promoting man's good, despises not, and knows that it ought not to despise, any rightful means by which that end can be promoted". A variation occurs as early as the 17th century in John Norris, Treatises Upon Several Subjects: viz.: Reason and Religion, or, the Grounds and Measures of Devotion (1698), p. 253: "How many excellent and useful things might be learnt in the Mathematics and other ingenious and profitable Sciences, while Boys are Thumming and Murthering Hesiod and Homer, which then they do not understand, and which when they do, they will throw by and despise: and that justly too?"
“Contempt leaves a deeper scar than anger.”
— George Dilwyn, The Youth's Instructor: Occasional Reflections (Burlington, N.J.: David Allinson, 1815).
“Ah, there is nothing more beautiful than the difference between the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a holy being, and the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a self-righteous being. The one is all contempt: the other, all pity.”
— Alexander Maclaren, Expositions of Holy Scripture, Vol. 9: St. Luke, "Love and Forgiveness (Luke vii. 47)".
“There is no room in the universe for the least contempt or pride; but only for a gentle and a reverent heart.”
— James Martineau, Hours of Thought on Sacred Things (London: Longmans, Green, Reader, & Dyer, 1879), Vol. II, p. 23.
“Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.”
— William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act III, Scene 2, line 378.
“There is always some contempt in pity. One pities poor old Oedipus, but one doesn't pity Job.”
— Leonard Woolf, The Wise Virgins (1914), Ch. 8. London: Persephone Books, 2003, p. 156.
