Opinion Quotes

In my opinion, it helps enormously to know why something is true, rather than being told it is true, for why should you believe me? Never believe anything on the authority of a single person but seek confirmation - and reason is the best confirmation Picture Quote #1

I have always tried to be obedient regarding important matters like not being scalded to death by burning oil, but when public opinion takes a route far from one’s inner conviction, one cannot value disobedience too highly Picture Quote #1

Twitter’s a funny one, I mean, it’s good in some respects but I can’t stand it in other respects. You know there are too many opinions, people get opinions mixed up and people get being rude mixed up with that’s my opinion Picture Quote #1

Tolerance never exists without negative judgment. It is the sentiment of having a negative opinion about something yet still putting up with it Picture Quote #1

To no circumstance is the wide diffusion of error in the world more owing than to our habit of adopting conclusions from insufficiently established data. An indispensable preliminary, then, in every investigation, is to get at facts. Until these are arrived at, every opinion, theory, or system, however ingeniously framed, must necessarily rest upon an uncertain basis Picture Quote #1

Our opinions partake, more or less, of the prejudices of our class, party, or sect. We are all largely pledged, through interest, affection, or passion, to particular classes of opinion, and the strength of efforts to get released from these pledges, is the measure of our advancement Picture Quote #1

Outward objects cannot take hold of the soul, nor force their passage into her, nor set any of her wheels going. No, the impression comes from herself, and it is her own motions which affect her. As for the contingencies of fortune, they are either great or little, according to the opinion she has of her own strength Picture Quote #1

I am not only convinced that what I say is false, but also that what one might say against it is false. Despite this, one must begin to talk about it. In such a case the truth lies not in the middle, but rather all around, like a sack, which, with each new opinion one stuffs into it, changes its form, and becomes more and more firm Picture Quote #1

How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don’t think it’s so hard, but that’s my opinion, and I’ve written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn’t look for a magic bullet. You mustn’t look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use Picture Quote #1

We are complex, and therefore, in our natural state, inconsistent, beings, and the opinion of this hour need not be the opinion of the next Picture Quote #1

Unity of opinion is indeed a glorious and desirable thing, and its circle cannot be too strong and extended, if the centre be truth; but if the centre be error, the greater the circumference, the greater the evil Picture Quote #1

The intolerant man will not rely on persuasion, or on the worth of the idea. He would deny to others the very freedom of opinion or of dissent which he so stridently demands for himself. He cannot trust democracy Picture Quote #1

Vanity does not refer to the opinion a man entertains of himself, but to that which he wishes others to entertain of him Picture Quote #1

They, who would combat general authority with particular opinion, must first establish themselves a reputation of understanding better than other men Picture Quote #1

It is not easy to describe the present position of legal opinion on advertising and free speech. Only a poet can capture the essence of chaos Picture Quote #1

At the root of our civilization, there is the freedom of each person of thought, of belief, of opinion, of work, of leisure Picture Quote #1

The problem with most love stories in my opinion is that they’re too simplistic Picture Quote #1

I have great confidence in you to do what you think best. State your opinion and always act with courage Picture Quote #1

Some books are not read in the right way because they have skipped a stage of opinion, assume a crystallization of information in society which has not yet taken place Picture Quote #1

Creating art alone doesn’t seem to fill us up, in my opinion, until we begin to truly communicate with it Picture Quote #1

In precious opals there might be a dash of red here, a seductive swirl of blue there, and in the center, perhaps, a flirtatious glance of green. But each stone flickers with a unique fire and a good opal is one with an opinion of its own Picture Quote #1

Condemn me if you choose I do that myself, but condemn me, and not the path which I am following, and which I point out to those who ask me where, in my opinion, the path is Picture Quote #1

Who can know how much of his most inward life is made up of the thoughts he believes other men to have about him, until that fabric of opinion is threatened with ruin? Picture Quote #1
