Text Quotes
The struggle for freedom is ultimately not resistance to autocrats or oligarchs but resistance to the despotism of public opinion (Public Opinion Quotes)
Sycophancy toward those who hold power is a fact in every regime, and especially in a democracy, where, unlike tyranny, there is an accepted principle of legitimacy that breaks the inner will to resist... Flattery of the people and incapacity to resist public opinion are the democratic vices, particularly among writers, artists, journalists and anyone else who is dependent on an audience (Public Opinion Quotes)
All free governments, whatever their name, are in reality governments by public opinion ; and it is on the quality of this public opinion that their prosperity depends. It is, therefore, their first duty to purify the element from which they draw the breath of life (Public Opinion Quotes)
See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds. Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate (Public Opinion Quotes)
I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion; one, fame, the other, desert; one, feats, the other, humility; one, lucre, the other, love; one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind (Public Opinion Quotes)
The time will come when public opinion will no longer tolerate amusements based on the mistreatment and killing of animals. The time will come, but when? When will we reach the point that hunting, the pleasure in killing animals for sport, will be regarded as a mental aberration? (Public Opinion Quotes)
There is no use in deceiving ourselves. American public opinion rejects the market economy, the capitalistic free enterprise system that provided the nation with the highest standard of living ever attained. Full government control of all activities of the individual is virtually the goal of both national parties (Public Opinion Quotes)
We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm and the misguided. And those who have an interest in keeping the machinery of war going are a very powerful body; they will stop at nothing to make public opinion subservient to their murderous ends (Public Opinion Quotes)
When he tries to extend his power over objects, those objects gain control of him. He who is controlled by objects loses possession of his inner self... Prisoners in the world of object, they have no choice but to submit to the demands of matter! They are pressed down and crushed by external forces: fashion, the market, events, public opinion. Never in a whole lifetime do they recover their right mind!... What a pity! (Public Opinion Quotes)
Democracy, taken in its narrower, purely political, sense, suffers from the fact that those in economic and political power possess the means for molding public opinion to serve their own class interests. The democratic form of government in itself does not automatically solve problems; it offers, however, a useful framework for their solution. Everything depends ultimately on the political and moral qualities of the citizenry (Public Opinion Quotes)
The best government rests on the people, and not on the few, on persons and not on property, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority (Public Opinion Quotes)
If public opinion still endorses military action that’s one thing, but if they wait maybe it will not. So it’s not only impatience, but there are several other factors (Public Opinion Quotes)
Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense (Public Opinion Quotes)
Not merely can people like me write things that would never have been printed before but I think an enormously dramatic change has taken place in public opinion, possibly for the wrong reasons (Public Opinion Quotes)
It is not at all clear how much the media influences public opinion and how much public opinion influences the media (Public Opinion Quotes)
Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate (Public Opinion Quotes)
All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake public opinion for the benefit of the bourgeoisie (Public Opinion Quotes)
At the bottom of a good deal of the bravery that appears in the world there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they cannot face public opinion (Public Opinion Quotes)
Somewhere out there, beyond the walls of the courthouse, run currents and tides of public opinion which lap at the courtroom door (Public Opinion Quotes)
If the freedom of religion, guaranteed to us by law in theory, can ever rise in practice under the overbearing inquisition of public opinion, then and only then will truth, prevail over fanaticism (Public Opinion Quotes)
Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion (Public Opinion Quotes)
Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they’re growing (Public Opinion Quotes)
It is often noted that it can be hard for democracies to fight wars because of changing public opinion (Public Opinion Quotes)
In the long run, much public opinion is made in the universities; ideas generated there filter down through the teaching profession and the students into the general public (Public Opinion Quotes)
In the modern world the intelligence of public opinion is the one indispensable condition for social progress (Public Opinion Quotes)
Perhaps the best known, and certainly the most vaunted, discovery of modern public opinion research is the indifference and ignorance of a majority of the electorate in western democracies (Public Opinion Quotes)
Public opinion, or what passes for public opinion, is not invariably a moderating force in the jungle of politics (Public Opinion Quotes)
Spiritualism is but a baby now, an unwelcome stranger, whom public opinion, like an unnatural foster mother, tries to crush out of existence (Public Opinion Quotes)
The World War broke out with such elemental violence, and with such resort to all means for leading or misleading public opinion, that no time was available for reflection and consideration (Public Opinion Quotes)
After a decade of war you have this Pentagon-military apparatus run amok using resources that they shouldn’t be to try to manipulate U.S. public opinion (Public Opinion Quotes)
