One man adheres to an opinion because he prides himself on having come upon it by himself; another because he has learned it with effort, and is proud of having grasped it: thus both out of vanity.

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

I was myself so smitten in public opinion that it was the almost universal view that my political life was at last ended.

I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a consensus of what I heard in the discussion.

I'm a role model for those who dare to be different. For those who dare to take a stand in their life and have an opinion.

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.
