I have long been of the opinion that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.
Bruce Grocott

The being without an opinion is so painful to human nature that most people will leap to a hasty opinion rather than undergo it.
Walter Bagehot

Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all.
Georg C. Lichtenberg

Nothing can contribute more to peace of soul than the lack of any opinion whatever.
Georg C. Lichtenberg

In the old days... it was a basic, cardinal fact that producers didn't have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes, I didn't use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes.
David Attenborough

Never let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries. Continue steadfastly on one's way.
Gustav Mahler

I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.
Harrison Ford

We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

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.
Angela Carter

That science has long been neglected and declining in England, is not an opinion originating with me, but is shared by many, and has been expressed by higher authority than mine.
Charles Babbage

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.
Walter Lippmann

I think anyone who has an opinion, and voices it, will offend someone.
Peter Steele

The left has lost touch with popular opinion, thereby making it possible for the right to present itself as the party of common sense.
Christopher Lasch

My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.
Ruben Studdard

One reason the human race has such a low opinion of itself is that it gets so much of its wisdom from writers.
Wilfrid Sheed

I am not involved in any 'issues' because it's too sensitive for me - or my wife - to get involved. Every time we express an opinion it becomes a whole thing in itself. And the whole purpose of living in the countryside was to get away from hundreds of people. My wife fell off a horse, and suddenly there are hundreds of people around.
Guy Ritchie

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.
Arthur Henderson

I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.
Boy George

Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, which sooner or later becomes autocratic government.
William Lyon Mackenzie King

In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war.
Arthur Henderson
