en I have learned to hold popular opinion of no value
  Alexander Hamilton

en That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people, not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.

en The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
  John Stuart Mill

en You can't punish me for that. Don't ask me my opinion and then punish me for the answer I give you! Better still, just don't ask. Or don't expect truth. Fruit from the tree of knowledge. I love it! If you think I'm going to give you an opinion that's popular then you are talking to the wrong person. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to turn my brain off and do what you would like me to do.

en That's what we learned, and we loved the ravioli. We learned early on that we had to hold it down to one holiday a year for that kind of food.

en We had a good season, but it's still a failure to me. That's in my eyes, that's nobody else's opinion, that's my opinion because I know what it's like to hold the trophy at the end. But anything less than that is a failure to me. . . . When we needed it the most, we didn't get it. Their team was better.

en When a subject is highly controversial... one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the prejudices, the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.
  Virginia Woolf

en Popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world.
  Thomas Carlyle

en There is no such thing as right and wrong, there's just popular opinion.

en It requires ages to destroy a popular opinion
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

en In America, educators punish those who actually think for themselves. There is only acceptance for popular opinion.

en Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion?
  William Lloyd Garrison
