All MARK TWAIN Quotes about “Opinions”

“It were not best that we should all think alike.”
“Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.”
“I am not one of those who in expressing opinions confine themselves to facts.”
“Is a person's public and private opinion the same? It is thought there have been instances.”
“We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess. Sometimes we are too close to the scene, to see clearly. We "know" ourselves so well that we cannot see how we are perceived by others. Our opinion of ourselves is only "one" opinion and it may not be the truth.”
“It's my opinion that every one I know has morals, though I wouldn't like to ask. I know I have. But I'd rather teach them than practice them any day. "Give them to others"-that's my motto.”
“When the Lord finished the world, he pronounced it good. That is what I said about my first work, too. But Time, I tell you, Time takes the confidence out of these incautious opinions. It is more than likely that He thinks about the world, now, pretty much as I think about the Innocents Abroad. The fact is, there is a trifle too much water in both.”
“Training- training is everything; training is all there is to a person. We speak of nature; it is folly; there is no such thing as nature; what we call by that misleading name is merely heredity and training. We have no thoughts of our own, no opinions of our own; they are transmitted to us, trained into us.”
“Creed and opinion change with time, and their symbols perish; but Literature and its temples are sacred to all creeds and inviolate.”
