Platitudes and generalities roll of the human understanding like water from a duck
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001431985

Our credulity is a part of the imperfection of our natures. It is inherent in us to desire to generalize, when we ought, on the contrary, to guard ourselves very carefully from this
tendency.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 001136460
A generalizing specialist is more than just a generalist. A generalist is a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none, whereas a generalizing specialist is a jack-of-all-trades and master of a few. Big difference.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 000545371
Generalization is flawed thinking only when applied to individuals. It is the most accurate way to describe the mass, the Wad. And yours is a democracy, a dictatorship of the Wad.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001358532
Stereotyping reduces individuals to an average, whereas science recognizes that many people fall outside the average range for their group.

Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001616855
Actually, most things I say in public lead more or less directly to my own compositional practice, so I should be careful about generalizing lest they come back to haunt me.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001596375
A common human error is a tendency to recognize personal truths as universal truths.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000490879
Human beings ... are far too prone to generalize from one instance. The technical word for this, interestingly enough, is superstition.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000521697
The pursuit of pretty formulas and neat theorems can no doubt quickly degenerate into a silly vice, but so can the quest for austere generalities which are so very general indeed that they are incapable of application to any particular.

while direct, abstract, learned assaults upon generalities usually glaze them over.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001849769
Still, I wonder sometimes what we are asking when we ask if findings apply elsewhere...Maybe what we are really asking when we ask if a study is "generalizable"is: Can it really be this bad everywhere? Or maybe we're asking: Do I really have to pay attention to this problem?
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001331513
Nothing is such an enemy to accuracy of judgment as a coarse discrimination; a want of such classification and distribution as the subject admits of.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000337628
Common and vulgar people ascribe all ills that they feel to others; people of little wisdom ascribe to themselves; people of much wisdom, to no one.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 001697390
Power of generalizing gives men so much the superiority in mistake over the dumb animals.

Assumptions are what we don't know we are making
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001417955
If we relate to people believing that we can categorize them, we will neither identify nor nuture the parts, the vital parts, of the other that transcends category. The enabling relationship always assumes that the other is never fully knowable.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 001848985
Hate generalises, love specifies
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001537038
Beware how you contradict prejudices, even knowing them to be such, for the generality of people are much more tenacious of their prejudices than of anything belonging to them ...
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000262442
The generality of men are so accustomed to judge of things by their senses that, because the air is indivisible, they ascribe but little to it, and think it but one remove from nothing.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001774979
The more specific you are, the more universal you are.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 001092452

Generalizing Quotes : pic 001227956
The generality of friends puts us out of conceit with friendship; just as the generality of religious people puts us out of conceit with religion.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000672695
Stereotypes are the mind's shorthand for dealing with complexities. They have two aspects: they are much blunter than reality; they are shaped to fit a man's preferences or prejudgments. Thus two principles are involved: differentiation or its lack, and biased preferential perception.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000145380
All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.

In this art form, in any art form, generalities are useless.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001459828

Generalizing Quotes : pic 000221614
We form our impression not globally, by placing ourselves in the broadest possible context, but locally, by comparing ourselves to people in the same boat as ourselves.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000760530
When there is a problem, always identify and evaluate your underlying assumptions that may be contributing to the problem or preventing you from seeing the problem clearly.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 000050555
[On stereotyping:] It's the mind's way of processing a lot of information quickly. If we had to sort through every bit of data before making a decision, most folks would still be going out the front door when it was time to come home for the night.

Generalizing Quotes : pic 000945947
General knowledges are those knowledges that idiots possess.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 001394521
One or two particulars may suggest hints of enquiry, and they do well who take those hints; but if they turn them into conclusions, and make them presently general rules, they are forward indeed, but it is only to impose on themselves by propositions assumed for truths without sufficient warrant.
Generalizing Quotes : pic 000072097
