--HORACE
MANN.
He who has no opinion of his own, but depends upon the opinion and
taste of others, is a slave.--KLOPSTOCK.
To maintain an opinion because it is thine, and not because it is
true, is to prefer thyself above the truth.--VENNING.
We should always keep a corner of our heads open and free, that we may
make room for the opinions of our friends. Let us have heart and head
hospitality.--JOUBERT.
No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for
having changed his opinion.--CICERO.
Who observes not that the voice of the people, yea of that people that
voiced themselves the people of God, did prosecute the God of all
people, with one common voice, "He is worthy to die." I will not,
therefore, ambitiously beg their voices for my preferment; nor weigh
my worth in that uneven balance, in which a feather of opinion shall
be moment enough to turn the scales and make a light piece go current,
and a current piece seem light.--ARTHUR WARWICK.
It is not only arrogant, but it is profligate, for a man to disregard
the world's opinion of himself.--CICERO.
In the minds of most men, the kingdom of opinion is divided into three
territories,--the territory of yes, the territory of no, and a broad,
unexplored middle ground of doubt.--JAMES A. GARFIELD.
The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion.--LOWELL.
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally
has a strong underlying sense of justice.
