Motivational Quotes

Public opinion

We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them.
- Bernhardt, Sarah
Public opinion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Public opinion

1.
It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law. This is the usual form in which masses of men exhibit their tyranny.
Cooper, James F.

2.
Public Opinion... an attempt to organize the ignorance of the community, and to elevate it to the dignity of physical force.
Wilde, Oscar

3.
Public opinion contains all kinds of falsity and truth, but it takes a great man to find the truth in it. The great man of the age is the one who can put into words the will of his age, tell his age what its will is, and accomplish it. What he does is the heart and the essence of his age, he actualizes his age. The man who lacks sense enough to despise public opinion expressed in gossip will never do anything great.
Hegel, Georg

4.
Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to drink other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits.
Bagehot, Walter

5.
There are certain times when public opinion is the worst of all opinions.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

6.
It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee-house for the voice of the kingdom.
Swift, Jonathan

7.
We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them.
Bernhardt, Sarah

8.
American public opinion is like an ocean -- it cannot be stirred by a teaspoon.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

9.
What we call public opinion is generally public sentiment.
Disraeli, Benjamin

10.
The world will only, in the end, follow those who have despised as well as served it.
Butler, Samuel

11.
If forty million people say a foolish thing it does not become a wise one, but the wise man is foolish to give them the lie.
Maugham, W. Somerset

12.
Wonderful Force of Public Opinion! We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realize the sum of money, the degree of influence it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?
Carlyle, Thomas

13.
A man must know how to fly in the face of opinion; a woman to submit to it.
Stael, Germaine De

14.
Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

15.
Where mass opinion dominates the government, there is a morbid derangement of the true functions of power. The derangement brings about the enfeeblement, verging on paralysis, of the capacity to govern. This breakdown in the constitutional order is the cause of the precipitate and catastrophic decline of Western society. It may, if it cannot be arrested and reversed, bring about the fall of the West.
Lippmann, Walter

16.
Opinions are a private matter. The public has an interest only in judgments.
Benjamin, Walter
