Even good opinions are worth very little unless we hold them

Summary

This quote emphasizes that simply having a good opinion is not enough; it is crucial to approach and hold our opinions in a broad, intelligent, and spacious manner. Merely possessing a good opinion without considering diverse perspectives or engaging in critical thinking diminishes its value. To truly appreciate the worth of our opinions, we should broaden our understanding by being receptive to different viewpoints, applying logical reasoning and intelligence to our thought process, and cultivating an open-minded and flexible attitude that allows for continuous growth and learning.
