When a man is wrong and won't admit it, he always gets angry

Summary

This quote highlights the tendency of individuals to become angry when they refuse to acknowledge their mistakes or accept their wrongdoings. It suggests that anger often arises as a defense mechanism, serving to protect the person's ego and deflect from their inability to admit their faults. In such situations, admitting and taking responsibility for one's errors is crucial in fostering personal growth and maintaining healthy relationships. Failure to do so may result in a continuous cycle of anger and denial.

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
