A mistake by many rights activists today is that their activities do not correspond with the opinions and values of a majority of our people.
Metropolitan Kirill

Walter Lippmann
Part-time information and full-time opinions can be very dangerous.
Chris Berman
There are all kinds of different opinions about this, but it sounds like they kind of have an idea of what works now. It makes good business sense for them.
Jeremy Schwartz
There is a difference between transparency and clarity. You can put everything out there and have a full airing of different opinions. But sometimes there is too much emphasis on the Fed's deliberations rather than its conclusions and that confuses things.
David Kelly
You wonder why politicians are not always consistent. It's because public opinion's not always consistent.

Amani Zuaiter
Right now I'm feeling great. I'm not the expert here. The doctors and the trainers are, so I just have to trust their opinions.
Jodi Howell
Having a third party know all of the news you read is troublesome enough. It gives away key details about your beliefs, your opinions and your interests.
Kevin Bankston

Thomas Mann
The Europeans should get used to hearing other opinions, even if they don't like them.

Tony Keller
At Columbine High School, it is essential that you have respect for your fellow students who may have different opinions and ideas.
Frank Deangelis
When you're angry, you know your needs, rights and opinions in a way that you don't at any other time. When you're happy or sad, you're not necessarily as aware of your individual stake in things as you are when you're angry.
Deborah Cox
I share no man's opinions; I have my own.
Ivan Turgenev
It's the emotion of the issue, ... We all may have a say in what we believe in and our opinions, but when something like this happens we all feel the same. And this town has a big heart and today proves it if there was any doubt.
Robert Lowe
I grew up to have my father's looks - my fathers speech patterns - my father's posture - my father's walk - my father's opinions and my mother's contempt for my father.

People have all sorts of opinions about (airport fees) depending on what city and how much they cost.
Pat Farrell
People's opinions have moved up and down on the project over time. That's to be expected.
David Oman
I definitely got more out of it than I expected. I got to go behind United Nations' closed doors and see the inner workings of the U.N. I learned that there are so many more opinions on a situation, and that the United Nations is not the United States' opinion, but 191 conflicting opinions.
Greg Mills
The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
William Blake
What's striking is the near unanimity of many of the opinions and attitudes expressed by these businesses.
Steve Buster
A lot of it is having conversations, reopening issues and trying to get fresh opinions on things. I'd say that not a week goes by that the matter isn't discussed in detail.
Terry Delaney
When the [Supreme] Court moved to Washington in 1800, it was provided with no books, which probably accounts for the high quality of early opinions.

Wachira Waruru
There are many different opinions and many different people, and we recognize that.
Melisa Tezanos
I read the entire article and learned that not only was Kim wearing things belonging to my son, but she claimed that the home belonged to her as well. This experience helped me draw my own opinions about Kim. And they weren't good.
Christopher Wallace
It's a challenge for new film directors to know when it's enough to ask people for their opinions and when it's important just to move on, no matter what people think. Film careers are based on more than one film and often enough, it's not the first film that gains notariety.
Martin Dansky
Me and my husband took him as a friend. He's someone we know we could talk to and call on if we have a question about something we can't answer because, quite frankly, 50 is very intelligent and we really appreciate his expertise, and we really appreciate his opinions and the advice he's given us.
Mary J. Blige
Our budget just hasn't been passing. The board is doing the best that it can. We need our legislators to voice our opinions to the governor.
Linda Taylor
One month ago, people were on the fence. A month later, people are off the fence and forming hard opinions. A month ago, people were waiting to see what the governor would do. Now they've seen some of it and their initial reaction is negative.
Peter Woolley
To be turned from one's course by men's opinions, by blame, and by misrepresentation shows a man unfit to hold an office.

Writing, like dreams, confronts, pushes you up against the evasions, self-deceptions, investments in opinions and interpretations, the clutter that blinds, that disguises that underlying, all-encompassing design. . .
Toni Cade Bambara
There are diverse opinions around the world. Yes, I even hear my countrymen say that when America wants to do war, it is because they have an interest. But I tell them that they should be grateful because Americans helped them to become a free country after World War II.
Alfonso Nunziante
We can help with anything inside or outside the house. Sometimes it's difficult to find people out there who will give you an honest opinion and not try to sell you something down the line. We just give our opinions.
Charlie Miller
I don't think the Minutemen are having an impact on the site. Nationally I think they're having an impact on people's opinions about immigration, but I don't think they're having an impact locally.
Bill Threlkeld
The position of these countries like France, Belgium or Germany is one thing and when they meet and discuss opinions is something else.

Yang Jingyu
The opinions of my friends can be an important model for discovery. We want to create a platform so that the knowledge in people's heads flows onto the Web for the benefit of others.

Opinions differ most when there is least scientific warrant for having any.
Daisy Bates
He said that there is no clear-cut answer. It's opinion based on opinions.
Tom Eithun
In Brewster, when one of us causes a problem, we all pay. We're not accustomed to mixing with Americans. They base their opinions too much on appearances.
Roberto Carlos
We talked about who they might vote for and why. Where will they turn for information on the candidates? They need to start having their own opinions.
Joanne Wheeler
With the NBA thing, I can understand safety issues. But (the student) was not challenging the coach or coming on the floor. He apparently was stating his opinions on the game.
Tim Creamer
Music critics get their records for free so their opinions usually don't matter.
Marilyn Manson
We hope that the Supreme Court, as the last bastion of law, provides the president with fair and balanced opinions before he decides on the fate of these three.
Roy Rening
There are opinions, no way that our natural gas industry do not support the growth and development of industry at home.

The diverse opinions of the community were at least heard.
Tim Holman
He's got his opinions, and that's what you need.
Chris Gordon
There are very, very strong opinions on both sides of the fence on what the Fed is going or not going to do. The bottom line is with such diversity of opinions that the market is going to be choppy and volatile.
Jason Evans
Those comments were made some 12 or 13 years ago. All of us may hold opinions which are objectionable, but they change over time. I certainly would not defend those comments today.
Inayat Bunglawala
He walked out the bloody door and was never around. I'd admire him on TV -- listen to his words and opinions. But for someone who was praised for peace and love and wasn't able to keep that at home, that's hypocrisy.
Julian Lennon
The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions, but to kindle minds.
Frederick William Robertson
Since there are issues that are oriented to the future, we welcome the opportunity for a frank exchange of opinions.
Hiroyuki Hosoda
Her challenge is that she's well known. These are both well known candidates. With that name recognition comes entrenched opinions.
