#Opinions

"Each voice carries a portion of value, no matter how unpalatable or distasteful that voice may be: no one person, government, ideology, transnational, or religious institution can own and dominate the whole."

"I cannot encourage any fabrication even for the sake of making people feel good. If I were to fabricate consciously and knowingly, I would not only be ordaining myself their enemy, but also ordaining myself God's enemy."

"I don't ever give my opinion. Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life."

"I'm a big fan of independent girls who are strong-willed, vocal in their opinions, and have a sense of humor."

"Fools have a habit of believing that everything written by a famous author is admirable. For my part I read only to please myself and like only what suits my taste."

"We judge others instantly by their clothes, their cars, their appearance, their race, their education, their social status. The list is endless. What gets me is that most people decide who another person is before they have even spoken to them. What's even worse is that these same people decide who someone else is, and don't even know who they are themselves."

"Don't allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out."

"When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you."

"What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation."

"The circumstances of the world are so variable that an irrevocable purpose or opinion is almost synonymous with a foolish one."

"In a general sense, I admit to valuing the worldviews of men under the age of 40 and women over the age of 30."

"Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in."

"All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others."

"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."

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

"Everyone has a sense of humor. If you don't laugh at jokes, you probably laugh at opinions."

"Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves."

"How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey."

"Faithfulness imparts God's reason for all circumstances. No matter what the world says, losing is no longer an option."

"Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted."
