have a higher opinion of him than I have; and I think he's a
dirty little beast.
-- W. S. Gilbert

No two men see
the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will
apply in different ways a principle that they both
acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge
the same things differently on different occasions: early
convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless,
may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses
withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and
others?
-- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
1749-1832, German Poet,
Dramatist, Novelist
It rarely adds
anything to say, ''In my opinion'' --not even modesty.
Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not
the Pope.
-- Paul Goodman
1911-1972, American Author,
Poet, Critic

Men who borrow
their opinions can never repay their debts.

Nothing is
more unjust or capricious than public opinion.
-- William Hazlitt

We should be
eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression
of opinions that we loathe.
