20 September: Opinions

In the French Revolutionary Calendar, today is La FĂȘte de l'Opinion "Opinion Day". Here are 10 quotes about opinions:

  1. We are not troubled by things, but by the opinions which we have of things. Epictetus

  2. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. Steve Jobs

  3. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts. Daniel Patrick Moynihan

  4. Arguments only confirm people in their own opinions. Booth Tarkington

  5. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric. Bertrand Russell

  6. Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes. Voltaire

  7. Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who has a low opinion of himself. Anthony Trollope

  8. It is much easier to modify an opinion if one has not already persuasively declared it. David Souter

  9. The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd. Bertrand Russell

  10. Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Marcus Aurelius
