Quotes
- An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or Practical reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. - C. S. Lewis quoted in Credenda Agenda, Volume 4/Number 5, p. 16
- Merely having an open mind is nothing; the object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid. - G. K. Chesterton
