Opinions Quotes
-
Laws directed against opinions affect the generous-minded rather than the wicked, and are adapted less for coercing criminals than for irritating the upright.
Baruch Spinoza
-
Governments may change, and opinions, and the very appearance of lands themselves, but the slowest thing to change is religion. What has once been associated with worship becomes holy in itself, and self-perpetuating, always built upon the foundation of mingled awe and attraction which the unknown has for the mind of man.
Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth
-
News is becoming more of a conversation. You can express opinions online in real time. You don't send a letter to the editor and wait a week.
George Johnson
-
I think I did have a reputation for being grumpy. I don't think I'm grumpy. I have opinions. I have an independent vision. I am a purposeful person. But on a daily basis, I think I'm other than grumpy. I think it is a case where I am coming to do business and not there just to be flattered and cajoled and used.
Harrison Ford
-
It is not things, but opinions about things that have absolutely no existence, which have so deranged mankind!
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
He was of an impressible nature, and lived a great deal in other people's opinions and feelings concerning himself.
George Eliot
-
I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. ... I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me... These are not, however, the days of miracles ... I must study the plain physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible, and learn what appears to be wise and right.
Abraham Lincoln
-
As far as we're concerned, we all have opinions on different things, but just because you're in a group and you can broadcast them doesn't mean your opinion is right.
Steve Clark
Def Leppard
-
Thank God we are not to be judged by the opinions of our fellows, but by the work that we do.
Heber J. Grant
-
The most tyrannical of governments are those which make crimes of opinions, for everyone has an inalienable right to his thoughts.
Baruch Spinoza
-
The opinions of my friends can be an important model for discovery. We want to create a platform so that the knowledge in people's heads flows onto the Web for the benefit of others.
Bradley Horowitz
-
Most boys or youths who have had much knowledge drilled into them, have their mental capacities not strengthened, but overlaid by it. They are crammed with mere facts, and with the opinions and phrases of other people, and these are accepted as a substitute for the power to form opinions of their own. And thus, the sons of eminent fathers, who have spared no pains in their education, so often grow up mere parroters of what they have learnt, incapable of using their minds except in the furrows traced for them.
John Stuart Mill
