But as when an authentic watch is shown,
Each man winds up and rectifies his own,
So in our very judgments.
--
Aglaura, Epilogue. Compare: "'T is with our judgments as our watches,—none Go just alike, yet each believes his own", Alexander Pope, Essay on Criticism, part i. line 9.John Suckling

Cold winds are disagreeable, hot winds enervating, moist winds unhealthy.
Vitruvius
History has shown us, that you can't allow the mass extermination of people, and just sit by and watch it happen.
Bill Clinton
The one who acts without knowledge, destroys and ruins more than he rectifies.
Muhammad al-Taqi
A prejudice may be an unreasoned judgment, he [Hibben] pointed out, but an unreasoned judgment is not necessarily an illogical judgment. … First, there are those judgments whose verification has simply dropped out of memory. … The second type of unreasoned judgments we hold is the opinions we adopt from others … The third class of judgments in Professor Hibben’s list comprises those which have subconscious origin. The material that furnishes their support does not reach the focal point of consciousness, but psychology insists upon its existence.
Richard Weaver
Either something is authentic or it is unauthentic, it is either false or true, make-believe or spontaneous life; yet here we are faced with a prevaricated truth and an authentic fake, hence a thing that is at once the truth and a lie.
