Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful; yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.

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

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

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