It is not truth but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.

There never were two opinions alike in all the world no more than two hours or two grains: the most universal quality is diversity.

Michel de Montaigne

Will Rogers

The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions.

James Russell Lowell

All empty souls tend to extreme opinion.

William Butler Yeats

Do not choose to be wrong for the sake of being different.

Lord Samuel

If you want people to think well of you do not speak well of yourself.

Blaise Pascal

New opinions are always suspected and usually opposed without any other reason but because they are not already common.

John Locke

So many men so many opinions.

Terence

The present importance of the Book of Job cannot be expressed adequately even by saying that it is the most interesting of ancient books. We may almost say of the Book of Job that it is the most interesting of modern books. In truth, of course, neither of the two phrases covers the matter, because fundamental human religion and fundamental human irreligion are both at once old and new; philosophy is either eternal or it is not philosophy. The modern habit of saying, 'This is my opinion, but I may be wrong,' is entirely irrational. If I say that it may be wrong I say that is not my opinion. The modern habit of saying 'Every man has a different philosophy; this is my philosophy and its suits me'; the habit of saying this is mere weak-mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.

G.K. Chesterton

Future generations may or may not judge Wittgenstein to be one of the great philosophers. Even if they do not, however, he is sure always to count as one of the great personalities of philosophy. From our perspective it is easy to mistake one for the other; which he is time will tell.

A.C. Grayling

The opinion of the majority or the minority is of no importance! The important thing is the opinion of the Truth, of the Reason, of the Logic, of the High Intelligence!

Mehmet Murat ildan

Mr. Craig was not above talking politics occasionally, though he piqued himself rather on a wise insight than on specific information.

George Eliot

Polls could be self-fulfilling prophecies, shaping reality as much as they described it.

Rick Perlstein

As far as it is your opinion it is not wrong, what matters is that it is your opinion.

Shrey Srivastava

Life is too short to waste time waiting for other people's approval on how you live it.

Steve Maraboli

... always keep in mind that an article of faith is not something that the faithful assume. Faith, for those who have it, is the most certain form of knowledge, not a tentative opinion.

Mortimer J. Adler

Now against the specialist, against the man who studies only art or electricity, or the violin, or the thumbscrew or what not, there is only one really important argument, and that, for some reason or other, is never offered. People say that specialists are inhuman; but that is unjust. People say an expert is not a man; but that is unkind and untrue. The real difficulty about the specialist or expert is much more singular and fascinating. The trouble with the expert is never that he is not a man; it is always that wherever he is not an expert he is too much of an ordinary man. Wherever he is not exceptionally learned he is quite casually ignorant. This is the great fallacy in the case of what is called the impartiality of men of science. If scientific men had no idea beyond their scientific work it might be all very well — that is to say, all very well for everybody except them. But the truth is that, beyond their scientific ideas, they have not the absence of ideas but the presence of the most vulgar and sentimental ideas that happen to be common to their social clique. If a biologist had no views on art and morals it might be all very well. The truth is that the biologist has all the wrong views of art and morals that happen to be going about in the smart set of his time.

G.K. Chesterton

When everyone is determined to present someone as a monster, there are two possibilities: either he is a saint orthey are not telling the whole story.

Zafon Ruiz C.

If there are any persons who contest a received opinion,or who will do so if law or opinion will let them, let us thankthem for it, open our minds to listen to them, and rejoicethat there is some one to do for us what we otherwise ought,if we have any regard for either the certainty or the vitality ofour convictions, to do with much greater labor for ourselves.

John Stuart Mill

Pain is slight if opinion has added nothing to it; ... in thinking it slight, you will make it slight. Everything depends on opinion. It is according to opinion that we suffer. A man is as wretched as he has convinced himself that he is.

Seneca

If you believe that some opinions are in fact better than others, then you, too, are an elitist of sorts.

Michael Harris

Being an independent modern day diva is cute...BUT being dedicated, faithful, willing to face the world together, monogamous, honest, family orientated, caring, nurturing, dependable, affectionate, easy to work with, hard working, and a woman I can call my own...is down right sexy. BUT THAT'S JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION

claris yetunde ramsin

Nothing is my last word on anything.

Henry James

Never give your opinion on someone's writing unless they ask sincerely, and never ask for someone's opinion unless you're sincere.

Justin Alcala

Keep your negativity to yourself. After watching you poison your own life with your opinions, I would be foolish to let you do the same to mine.

Steve Maraboli

God does not seek the opinions of others about your life.

Bryant McGill

No one but a fool, and only a fool of a peculiar description, feels offended by the acknowledgment that there are others whose opinion, and even whose wish, is entitled to a greater amount of consideration than his.

John Stuart Mill

The chemists who uphold dualism are far from being agreed among themselves; nevertheless, all of them in maintaining their opinion, rely upon the phenomena of chemical reactions. For a long time the uncertainty of this method has been pointed out: it has been shown repeatedly, that the atoms put into movement during a reaction take at that time a new arrangement, and that it is impossible to deduce the old arrangement from the new one. It is as if, in the middle of a game of chess, after the disarrangement of all the pieces, one of the players should wish, from the inspection of the new place occupied by each piece, to determine that which it originally occupied.

Auguste Laurent

Impression forms opinion, opinion deforms truth!

Abhijit Kar Gupta

When you reach voting age, we will take your opinion under consideration.

Allan Dare Pearce

I like your opera - I think I will set it to music

Ludwig van Beethoven

What I mean is something like a closed circuit. Everybody on the same frequency. And after a while you forget about the rest of the spectrum and start believing that this is the only frequency that counts or is real. While outside, all up and down the land, there are these wonderful colors and x-rays and ultraviolets going on.

Thomas Pynchon

Privilege" is something else."Privilege" is a judgment."Privilege" is an opinion."Privilege" is an accusation.

Joan Didion

At this very moment you are probably basing your value on how other people value you, even though most of the time, you don’t even know what these people really think. You are assuming what they think based on behavior you interpreted. In truth, most people don’t think about you at all. They are too focused on their own stuff. And if they do think about you, they probably don’t think what you think they think. You are most likely projecting your own fears of not being good enough onto them. What you think they think tells you more about your own opinion of yourself than theirs.

Kimberly Giles

I listen to all these complaints about rudeness and intemperateness, and the opinion that I come to is that there is no polite way of asking somebody: have you considered the possibility that your entire life has been devoted to a delusion? But that’s a good question to ask. Of course we should ask that question and of course it’s going to offend people. Tough.

Daniel C. Dennett

It is only about things that do not interest one, that one can give a really unbiassed opinion; and this is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always valueless.

Oscar Wilde

Speaking one’s mind once is more honorable than quoting a thousand men.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

I would never tell you what to believe, Daniel, so please don't tell me that my opinion is wrong. We should be allowed a few basic human rights in life: the right to decide what goes into our bodies and the right to have an opinion without feeling shamed for it.

Jewel E. Ann

Popular feeling is very often sentimental, muddle-headed, and eminently unsound, but it cannot be disregarded for all that.

Agatha Christie

I most likely like books which are out of my language... English... for example is a great example - Not my native language, but I enjoy the covers and how the words sound.

Deyth Banger

Instead, every precaution was taken not to violate his rights. Remember, many administrators have no difficulty in expelling a student who utters an unwelcome opinion about the immorality of homosexuality.

James C. Dobson

... Whenever the man of science introduces his personal value judgment, a full understanding of the facts ceases.

Max Weber

Upon my word, you five your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.

Jane Austen

A man has no more right to an opinion for which he cannot account than for a glass of beer for which he cannot pay.

Anonymous

To stupid or what???I really don't get it... why do you agree always!?Don't you have an opinion... so far I have onion with prefix "Op" and what somehow from nowhere a prefix and suffix I build a word called itself an a "opinion"...

Deyth Banger

Don't be too hasty, don't take somebody else's opinion without testing it.

Franz Kafka

The main misfortune, the root of all the evil to come, was the loss of confidence in the value of one’s own opinion. People imagined that it was out of date to follow their own moral sense, that they must all sing in chorus, and live by other people’s notions, notions that were being crammed down everybody’s throat.

Boris Pasternak

if you wanna make friends , you have to be hypocrite , but if you wanna have best friends you need to be honest to them

Friends

Well, whose opinion did you take?”“I don’t ask for opinions.”“What do you go by?”“Judgment.”“Well, whose judgment did you take?”“Mine.”“But whom did you consult about it?”“Nobody.

Ayn Rand

A man who should undertake to inquire into everything for himself, could devote to each thing but little time and attention. His task would keep his mind in perpetual unrest, which would prevent him from penetrating to the depth of any truth, or of grappling his mind indissolubly to any conviction. His intellect would be at once independent and powerless. He must therefore make his choice from amongst the various objects of human belief, and he must adopt many opinions without discussion, in order to search the better into that smaller number which he sets apart for investigation. It is true that whoever receives an opinion on the word of another, does so far enslave his mind; but it is a salutary servitude which allows him to make a good use of freedom.A principle of authority must then always occur, under all circumstances, in some part or other of the moral and intellectual world. Its place is variable, but a place it necessarily has. The independence of individual minds may be greater, or it may be less: unbounded it cannot be. Thus the question is, not to know whether any intellectual authority exists in the ages of democracy, but simply where it resides and by what standard it is to be measured.

Alexis de Tocqueville

There are opinions and then there are opinions...behold the nature of mankind.

Will Leamon

My opinion is, of course, completely my own. I would not impose it on anyone else and decline any pressure to change it.

Søren Kierkegaard

If your opinion needs to be corrected than it is not your opinion.

Kim Yannayon

An artist simply cannot trust any public emblem of merit.

Samuel R. Delany

Ray was always of the opinion that a handful was more than enough. Anything else just tends to sag, once it’s out of a bra.

Jason Medina

...Opinion without a rational process.

Ayn Rand

Effectiveness comes when the opinion of a person comes into agreement with God’s opinion.
