Smatterers in learning are the most opinionated.

People usually think according to their inclinations speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions but generally act according to custom.

That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion and not on the opinion of the masses.

We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

It is my deliberate opinion that the one essential requisite of human welfare in all ways is scientific knowledge of human nature.

Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion.

There are in fact two things science and opinion the former begets knowledge the later ignorance.

Science is the father of knowledge but opinion breeds ignorance.

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.

Knowledge is true opinion.

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

If they had said my writing wasn't good enough fair enough that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.

There'll be differences of opinion in just about every intelligence analysis that you make.

The private citizen beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion will soon see perhaps that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence.

The role of the intelligence - that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions is merely to submit.

There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.

The world is not run by thought nor by imagination but by opinion.

Novelists are not equipped to make a movie in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they're casting they're dressing the scene they're working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they're also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.

In my opinion I think sarcasm and humor in a song without turning it into a novelty song is really charming.

I think people are sexy when they have a sense of humor when they are smart when they have some sense of style when they are kind when they express their own opinions when they are creative when they have character.

I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there promote your film and hope people like the work you did.

I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

New England is the home of all that is good and noble with all her sternness and uncompromising opinions.
