Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Benjamin DisraeliI hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.
H. L. MenckenI have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.
Queen Elizabeth III can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it – but there is only one proper and effectual mode by which it can be accomplished, and that is by Legislative authority: and this, as far as my suffrage will go, shall never be wanting.
George WashingtonTo give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.
Douglas AdamsSincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.
Charles SpurgeonI suppose my best attribute, if you want to call it that, is sincerity. I can sell sincerity because that’s the way I am.
John WayneI have been as sincere a worshipper of Aurora as the Greeks.
Henry David ThoreauA lot of people are bored of all the political correctness.
Clint EastwoodThe greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
Leonardo da VinciThe passive aggressive arguer comes armed with tricky tactics. They cannot take the risk that they might be wrong: their self-esteem is too intertwined with their opinions. It is more important to affirm their rightness, and sense of superiority, than to arrive at the truth.
Robert GreeneThe recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.
Elbert HubbardI like definitive things.
Jerry SeinfeldBe sincere; be brief; be seated.
Franklin D. RooseveltWriting means sharing. It’s part of the human condition to want to share things – thoughts, ideas, opinions.
Paulo CoelhoI’m very opinionated.
Brian EnoI have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus AureliusA little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Oscar WildeIt’s easier to aim to please and say what others want to hear than to form an opinion and fight for it, even if it means taking a risk or losing your job.
Robert KiyosakiI am not a fan of books.
Kanye WestSincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere.
Lao TzuA man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.
James MadisonIt takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one’s heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Stephen CoveyThere are people who don’t like capitalism, and people who don’t like PCs. But there’s no-one who likes the PC who doesn’t like Microsoft.
Bill GatesAdapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus AureliusI don’t want to get into it, but if you know someone, it doesn’t mean you agree with everything they say or they do.
Tom BradyIt is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.
Ralph Waldo EmersonAt the end of the day, your fans are the people who support you in and out. And their opinions matter.
Kevin HartSincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.
Billy GrahamNothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.
Blaise PascalFew people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
Albert EinsteinWhat the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope… It is not a reflection of all religious people.
Lady GagaA bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author’s soul.
Aldous HuxleyIn prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Mahatma GandhiPeople look at the same passage, and one person will say this is the best thing he’s ever read, and another person will say it’s absolutely idiotic. I mean, there’s no way to reconcile those two things. You just have to forget the whole business of what people are saying.
Paul AusterWe don’t need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful.
Taylor SwiftI don’t need you to be funny. I don’t want to be entertained.
Jerry SeinfeldIt is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia WoolfThere’s people that appreciate what I do; there’s people that criticize it.
Bad BunnyI think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
Bertrand RussellConvictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
BonoI don’t see that my majority opinions are going to be undone.
Ruth Bader GinsburgWhen I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.
Taylor SwiftThe second time around, I’ll understand that, as a husband, my wife doesn’t care about my opinions. I just need to tell her the things that will continue to help me stack the brownie points.
Kevin HartHow can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert CamusIf you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI don’t generally read reviews.
Alice WalkerA man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.
Marilyn MonroeAs long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.
James MadisonArguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.
Oscar WildePeople usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis BaconUpon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.
Abraham LincolnBy giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar WildeI have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one’s temper and disturb one’s quiet.
Benjamin FranklinIf you want to get each individual’s honest opinion, you don’t want that opinion to be influenced by others who are present, much less allow a group to coordinate what they are going to say.
Thomas SowellI have zero desire, just so you know, to be in the limelight. I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president criticize his successor. You’re not going to see me giving my opinions in the public arena, until I start selling my book. I’m going to emerge then submerge.
George W. BushI have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don’t always agree with them.
George H. W. BushThe fact is that when you do something from your heart, you leave a heart print.
Alice WalkerIf you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people’s opinions will rush in from all quarters.
George Bernard ShawThere is a group of people that I think in good faith honestly believe that further curtailing our Second Amendment rights will enhance public safety. But there’s another group that just hates the Second Amendment.
John Kennedy
