#Opinions

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

"People will always have opinions about your decision because they're not courageous enough to take action on their opinion."

"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."

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

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

"Most people think everybody feels about them much more violently than they actually do; they think other people's opinions of them swing through great arcs of approval or disapproval."

"I have no time for specialized concerns, working themes or variations that lead to mastery... I like the indefinite, the boundless; I like continual uncertainty. Other qualities may be more conducive to achievement, publicity, success; but they are all outworn - as outworn as ideologies, opinions, concepts and names for things."

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

"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."

"A person is wise if he listens to millions of advice and doesn't implement any of it."

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

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

"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."

"You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant."

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

"The problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion AND have others listen to it. The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!"

"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."

"If you have to say or do something controversial, aim so that people will hate that they love it and not love that they hate it."

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

"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."
