Best Quotes about Opinions

1.
The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
Mill, John Stuart

2.
Under the species of Syndicalism and Fascism there appears for the first time in Europe a type of man who does not want to give reasons or to be right, but simply shows himself resolved to impose his opinions.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

3.
It is much easier to modify an opinion if one has not already persuasively declared it.
Souter, David H.

4.
Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.
Beecher, Henry Ward

5.
No one can have a higher opinion of him than I have; and I think he's a dirty little beast.
Gilbert, W. S.

6.
An obstinate person does not hold opinions; they hold them.
Pope, Alexander

7.
The feeble tremble before opinion, the foolish defy it, the wise judge it, and the skillful direct it.
Platiere, Jeane

8.
I am not one of those who in expressing opinions confine themselves to facts.
Mark Twain

9.
The foolish and the dead never change their opinions.
Lowell, James Russell

10.
Opinion is the main thing which does harm or good in the world. It is our false opinions that ruin us.
Antonius, Marcus

11.
It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living.
Russell, Bertrand

12.
I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
George Bush

13.
Don't worry over what other people are thinking about you. They're too busy worrying over what you are thinking about them.

14.
Opinions, like showers, are generated in high places, but they invariably descend into lower ones, and ultimately flow down to the people as rain unto the sea.
Colton, Charles Caleb

15.
Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.
Charles A. Dana

16.
You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.
Plato

17.
Men get opinions as boys learn to spell by reiteration chiefly.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

18.
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf

19.
We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

20.
I'm not sure I want popular opinion on my side -- I've noticed those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts.
Bethania McKenstry

21.
He who has an opinion of his own, but depends upon the opinion and taste of others, is a slave.
Klopstock

22.
The only sin that we never forgive in each other is a difference in opinion.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.
Ayn Rand

24.
To try and change opinion by law is worse than futile.
Buckle, George Earle

25.
You're entitled to your own opinions. Your are not entitled to your own facts.

26.
Man is a gregarious animal and much more so in his mind than in his body. A golden rule; judge men not by their opinions but by what their opinions have made of them.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

27.
Our opinions become fixed at the point where we stop thinking.
Renan, Ernest

28.
Altered opinions do not alter a man's character (or do so very little); but they do illuminate individual aspects of the constellation of his personality which with a different constellation of opinions had hitherto remained dark and unrecognizable.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

29.
Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.
Benjamin, Walter

30.
Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.
Mark Twain

31.
The majority have no other reason for their opinions than that they are the fashion.
Johnson, Samuel

32.
In my opinion a mathematician need not preoccupy himself with philosophy -- An opinion, moreover, which has been expressed by many philosophers.

33.
When men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them. When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are to be called, will be the same.
Alexander Hamilton

34.
A study of the history of opinion is a necessary preliminary to the emancipation of the mind.
Keynes, John Maynard

35.
What you think of me is none of my business.
Cole-Whittaker, Terry

36.
A great deal of laziness of mind is called liberty of opinion.

37.
Things are not to be judged good or bad merely because the public think so.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

38.
Contrary to popular opinion, the hustle is not a new dance step -- it is an old business procedure.
Lebowitz, Fran

39.
Opinions that are well rooted should grow and change like a healthy tree.
Batcheller, Irving

40.
When I want your opinion I'll give it to you.
Peter, Laurence J.

41.
There never was in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains. The most universal quality is diversity.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

42.
It rarely adds anything to say, In my opinion --not even modesty. Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not the Pope.
Goodman, Paul

43.
It is not best that we should all think alike; it is a difference of opinion that makes horse races.
Twain, Mark

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.
Duhamel, George

45.
Opinions are made to be changed --or how is truth to be got at?

Keats, John

50.
Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self-Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.
Twain, Mark
