Famous quotes containing the word opinions:

    Of the opinions of philosophy I most gladly embrace those that are most solid, that is to say, most human and most our own; my opinions, in conformity with my conduct, are low and humble.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
