Quote by Dr. Paul Tournier

To be right is dangerous, it has ever been the source of all intolerance.

To be right is dangerous, it has ever been the source of all

Summary

This quote suggests that holding onto an absolute belief in being right is dangerous because it often leads to intolerance towards others who hold different views or perspectives. When individuals firmly believe that their viewpoint is the only correct one, they become less willing to consider alternative opinions and become more prone to dismiss or even attack those who differ from them. This implies that embracing humility and open-mindedness can foster greater understanding and prevent the spread of intolerance and conflict.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants--everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression gainst any neighbor--anywhere in the world.
