Steve Forbes

Well, my deliberate opinion is - it's a jolly strange world.
Arnold Bennett

Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
William Hazlitt

So I think it's - what was important to me is that I found that I can't change the fact that people already have made an opinion about me. But I don't think that should stop me from trying to correct some of the misperceptions that are out there.
Monica Lewinsky

I agree with no one's opinion. I have some of my own.
Ivan Turgenev

Well, I couldn't do the day-to-day stuff of being a politician or anything, but I just think everybody should have an opinion and everybody should vote, and that's what we're built on.
Toby Keith

Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.
David Hilbert

I think it's one of the scars in our culture that we have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the higher primates.
