“He holds one opinion for every man, and every man holds the same opinion—of him.”

There’s a quiet irony in this line. It speaks of someone who casts judgment freely, as if everyone around him fits neatly into the boxes he’s created. His mind is made up at first glance, and no second glance ever comes. He thinks he knows people—but in truth, people know him.

They see the narrow lens he uses. They feel the weight of his assumptions. And in time, they all form the same conclusion: this is not someone open to understanding, but someone closed to nuance.

The lesson? Be slow to judge. When we reduce others to a single opinion, we risk being reduced to one ourselves.
