1 " So long as you do no harm to another, change your opinion once in a while. Contradict yourself without being embarrassed. This is your right. It doesn't matter what others think -because that's what they will think, in any case. "
― Paulo Coelho , Maktub
2 " The liberty of man is not safe in the hands of any church. Wherever the Bible and sword are in partnership, man is a slave. All laws for the purpose of making man worship God, are born of the same spirit that kindled the fires of the auto da fe, and lovingly built the dungeons of the Inquisition. All laws defining and punishing blasphemy -- making it a crime to give your honest ideas about the Bible, or to laugh at the ignorance of the ancient Jews, or to enjoy yourself on the Sabbath, or to give your opinion of Jehovah, were passed by impudent bigots, and should be at once repealed by honest men. An infinite God ought to be able to protect himself, without going in partnership with State Legislatures. Certainly he ought not so to act that laws become necessary to keep him from being laughed at. No one thinks of protecting Shakespeare from ridicule, by the threat of fine and imprisonment. It strikes me that God might write a book that would not necessarily excite the laughter of his children. In fact, I think it would be safe to say that a real God could produce a work that would excite the admiration of mankind. "
― Robert G. Ingersoll , Some Mistakes of Moses
3 " Pride is pride not because it hates being wrong, but because it loves being wrong: To hate being wrong is to change your opinion when you are proven wrong; whereas pride, even when proven wrong, decides to go on being wrong. "
― Criss Jami , Healology
4 " Never let the opinion of another affect your opinion of yourself. "
― Teresa Mummert
5 " (There are so many If's like Why's, why there, if there... but why?? Look again I say this word!)Why do we ask questions which we aren't interested in real like " How are you" , you answer, then the other " Oh, I'm also well" or " Why??" , so, so, so and that's all... Then he says that, that and that and that's all so it's not about communicating as far as for sharing?? Am I right??A lot of people use " If" ...But I still don't get why people say " Building" in case the action has finished, it must be something as a word and why people say " was" like " I was a smart kid" , but why " was??" . Why people say " I was used to like this... for now I don't watch it anymore..." why do we say this. Why??... Is it the way how it ends the humanity??This or nothing, real or lie... If I lie (Why did I lie) - WTF, if I say the truth (oh, oh, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION - Take it as shouting)WTF "
6 " Engaging solely to validate your opinion takes away from the character building process. "
7 " Keep your opinion to yourself unless it’s asked for. "
― Alaric Hutchinson , Living Peace: Essential Teachings for Enriching Life
8 " You tell me that you sometimes view the dark side of your Diana, and there no doubt you discover many Spots which I rather wish were erased, than conceal'd from you. Do not judge by this, that your opinion is an indifferent thing to me, (were it so, I should look forward with a heavey Heart,) but it is far otherways, for I had rather stand fair there, and be thought well of by Lysander than by the greater part of the World besides. I would fain hope that those faults which you discover, proceed more, from a wrong Head, than a bad Heart. E'er long May I be connected with a Friend from whose Example I may form a more faultless conduct, and whose benevolent mind will lead him to pardon, what he cannot amend. "
― Abigail Adams , The Letters of John and Abigail Adams
9 " Society is driven by the fierce winds of subjective opinion, whereby the balance is always tested, always in flux. Know this, your opinion is part of a continuum of possibilities that lives in the swirling landscape of humanity and if the world is not what you think it should be, probably, you are standing in the wrong place. "
10 " I love you all for bearing with me, whether I was asking your opinion on the best sources to base the magic in the book off of, hearing your suggestions on wording, or having an argument with you on just how " that sentence has completely correct grammar." On that note, also telling me when the fantasy just got way too cheesy. "
11 " No one asked your opinion O'Brien," the red-haired one snapped again." No one ever asks yours either, that doesn't seem to stop you from giving it," he countered. "
12 " You are entitled to your opinion but you are not entitled to dictate mine. "
― Michelle N. Onuorah
13 " Your life is yours, not theirs. Your opinion of yourself, should also be yours, and not theirs. Sometimes, people can be so cruel and heartless. It can be hard to not be affected by it. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming. It can seem like the whole world is against us. In those times, it is crucial to remember that this is our life to live. No one but us can dictate how we should feel about things or even ourselves. Our opinion of ourselves only belongs to us, and no one else. No one can step into your shoes and live your life for you. By the same token, no one can tell you how you should feel. Be kind to yourself, be loving and compassionate. You are the one who is living with you. Work to make the relationship you have with yourself the best you can make it. It takes conscious, active effort, but it's worth it. You're worth it. "
14 " Your success does not rely on the opinion and expectation of other people but you. Your desire to do well, add value and make a difference should be guided by the expectation of excellence that you have for yourself. Your opinion of yourself will determine your effort and your success. "
15 " Where did you get the idea you aren't allowed to petition the universe with prayer? You are part of this universe, Liz. You're a constituent--you have every entitlement to participate in the actions of the universe, and to let your feelings be known. So, put your opinion out there. Make your case. Believe me--it will at least be taken into consideration. "
― Elizabeth Gilbert , Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
16 " You do trust him, though, Giddon?" " Holt, who is stealing your sculptures and is of questionable mental health?" " Yes." " I trusted him five minutes ago. Now I'm at a bit of a loss." " Your opinion five minutes ago is good enough for me. "
17 " Nice is good. It doesn’t sound exciting, but think about it. I think Mr. Perfect would be kind to kids and animals, help old ladies across the street, not insult you when your opinion is different from his. Being nice is so important it’s close to being number one. "
― Linda Howard , Mr. Perfect
18 " Our relationship, however, soon went awry. Occasionally, something will happen that will change your opinion of someone irrevocably, that wil shatter the ideal you've built up around a person and force you to see them for the fallible and human creature they really are. "
― Marilyn Manson , The Long Hard Road Out of Hell
19 " The truth is this: People that give you focus, energy and anger do care. If you were nothing then you wouldn't be able to affect them. Behind every over reaction was first the thought that your opinion mattered and your respect was once of value or you wouldn't get the response you got. "
― Shannon L. Alder
20 " Voice your opinion and let the confidence in you stand still "
