A baby is God's opinion that life should go on.

It's funny because I'm a man of strong opinions and when I make one I stand by it even if it starts to appear incorrect to me after a while.

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.

Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.

My view is that good community management is like having good municipal government: You should be able to have dissenting opinions and so on freedom of speech but your grandmother should also be able to walk down the street at night without having to worry about getting mugged.

We all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don't have to agree with one another on our opinions. Everyone in my circle that I run around with we all feel the same about God country integrity and character.

To become self-aware people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic but fundamental right. Without it human beings are reduced to automatons.

Freedom of opinion can only exist when the government thinks itself secure.

Freedom rings where opinions clash.

It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon which raises the fear that it may not be long before we're paying somebody not to.

It is because I believe that it is in the power of such nations to lead the world back into the paths of peace that I propose to devote myself to explaining what in my opinion can and should be done to banish the fear of war that hangs so heavily over the world.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God because if there be one he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

I know I'm not supposed to have any opinions about politics because I'm famous.

A close family member once offered his opinion that I exhibit the phone manners of a goat then promptly withdrew the charge - out of fairness to goats.

Do not fear lest you should meditate too much upon Him and speak of Him in an unworthy way providing you are led by faith. Do not fear lest you should entertain false opinions of Him so long as they are in conformity with the notion of the infinitely perfect Being.

Bad religion is arrogant self-righteous dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.

All that I say is examine inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions the for and against. Know why you believe understand what you believe and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

Painting is a faith and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

It must not be forgotten in fairness to the National Government that apartheid is not just a policy of oppression but an attempt - in my opinion an attempt doomed to failure - to find an alternative to a policy of racial integration which is fair to both white and black.

The point is not to take the world's opinion as a guiding star but to go one's way in life and working unerringly neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.

And I like to convey my feelings my emotions my experience the information I have to public use public opinion.

The act of writing... is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. And ultimately I think that's the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books.
