Being dogmatic and close-minded are not virtues.

Walter E. Jacobson
About This Quote

Dogmatic and close-minded people are those who think they know everything and refuse to listen. They are those who would rather judge a book by its cover and they don’t care how the person looks on the outside. They are stubborn, intolerant and closed-minded, refusing to listen to others or learn from mistakes. Dogmatism is a problem in itself, but intolerance is a bigger problem because it can eventually lead to bigotry and racism, which is the opposite of human flourishing.
