An idea is always a generalization, and generalization is a property of thinking. To generalize means to think.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Avoid context and specifics; generalize and keep repeating the generalization.
Jack Schwartz

Dave Barry
It is always dangerous to generalize, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die.
Margot Asquith

Walter Jon Williams
To generalize is to be an idiot.
William Blake
To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse.
Rudolph Valentino
We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.
Eric Hoffer
We couldn't generalize on the people. Some of them were known to be tough guys and they didn't say much, but some of them were kind of soft-headed, but they did that. That was an East German film.
