Beware: open-mindedness will often say, 'Everything is permissible except a sharp opinion.

In view of the stupidity of the majority of people, a widely held opinion is more likely to be foolish than sensible.

I think everyone is entitled to my opinion.

If you want to discover your true opinion of anybody, observe the impression made on you by the first sight of a letter from him.

I would like to be able to admire a person's opinions as I would their dog -without being expected to take it home with me.

Some men are just as sure of the truth of their opinions as are others of what they know.

Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion, without the discomfort of thought.

An opinion, though it is original, does not necessarily differ from the accepted opinion; the important thing is that it does not try to conform to it.

We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth.
