Famous quotes related to public opinion:

    “The private citizen, beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion, will soon see, perhaps, that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence, but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “Englishmen never will be slaves: they are free to do whatever the Government and public opinion allow them to do.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
