They came, they looked, they walked
their eyes wide open
they didn’t see
because their minds were closed
Their eyes wide open
they didn’t know they couldn’t see
because their minds were closed;
so they looked, and left.Eugene J. Martin
An open mind is really a mark of foolishness, like an open mouth. Mouths and minds were made to shut; they were made to open only in order to shut.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.
Anonymous
Often pagans, with their eyes wide open, do not see very clearly.
Georges Rouault
Coffee, which makes the politician wise,
And see through all things with his half-shut eyes.Alexander Pope
