Paul Samuelson

I think that it's more important for an economist to be wise and sophisticated in scientific method than it is for a physicist because with controlled laboratory experiments possible, they practically guide you; you couldn't go astray. Whereas in economics, by dogma and misunderstanding, you can go very sadly astray.

American Economist

Steve Jobs

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

American Businessman

Deepak Chopra

Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.

American Speaker

Eckhart Tolle

Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of 'I know.' Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas.

German Speaker

Susan B. Anthony

We throw to the winds the old dogma that governments can give rights. Before governments were organized, no one denies that each individual possessed the right to protect his own life, liberty and property.

American Activist

Mahatma Gandhi

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

Indian Leader

Robert Green Ingersoll

Until every soul is freely permitted to investigate every book and creed and dogma for itself, the world cannot be free.

American Lawyer

Walter Mercado

Eliminate laws and dogmas that hinder the progress of the world and develop the heart in the form of compassion.

Puerto Rican Celebrity

Sherlyn Chopra

As I am a seeker of truth, I refuse to believe in every bit of dogma as a fact.

Neal Adams

People tend not to want to question dogma. But I'm afraid of dogma.

American Artist

Dogma often reinforces a sense of belonging within a group by sharing common beliefs.

Group Identity

Dogma is usually impersonal and originates from a collective, not an individual's belief.

Not Personal

Dogmas are often accepted without the need for proof; they're taken on faith or trust.

Beyond Proof

When used in a religious context, dogma often comes from a figure of authority like the Pope or a council.

Religious Authority

Religious dogma typically requires faith, as it might not be provable by scientific methods.

Faith Based

Religious dogma is often based on sacred texts or historical doctrines.

Historical Texts

In groups or organizations, dogma might discourage questioning or challenging the established beliefs.

Unquestioned Belief

A dogma may impede progress by resisting changes and new ideas outside its established beliefs.

Potential Rigidity

There may be social pressure to conform to a group's dogma to maintain membership or status.

Conformity Pressure

 Our circle of sympathy has been expanded by history, journalism and the narrative arts. And our puny rational faculties have been multiplied by the norms and institutions of reason, intellectual curiosity, open debate, skepticism of authority and dogma
