Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government, practically just so much  (Public Opinion Quotes) Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice  (Public Opinion Quotes) A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit. A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states  (Public Opinion Quotes) Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to drink other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits  (Public Opinion Quotes) I think one of our big problems has been the fact that many Iraqis resent American military presence. And I don't pretend to know exactly Iraqi public opinion.

This is the usual form in which masses of men exhibit their tyranny  (Public Opinion Quotes) Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion  (Public Opinion Quotes) Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions  (Public Opinion Quotes) Public opinion... requires us to think other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits  (Public Opinion Quotes) At the bottom of a good deal of bravery... Lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they cannot face public opinion  (Public Opinion Quotes) One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda  (Public Opinion Quotes) 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  (Public Opinion Quotes) One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny  (Public Opinion Quotes) The things people say of a man do not alter a man. He is what he is. Public opinion is of no value whatsoever  (Public Opinion Quotes) Public Opinion... An attempt to organize the ignorance of the community, and to elevate it to the dignity of physical force  (Public Opinion Quotes) It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed  (Public Opinion Quotes) What the tender and poetic youth dreams today, and conjures up with inarticulate speech, is tomorrow the vociferated result of public opinion, and the day after is the character of nations  (Public Opinion Quotes) It will not be enough to rely on experts. Ordinary citizens must become experts too. It will take public opinion on a wide scale to ensure that world leaders act  (Public Opinion Quotes) A statesman, we are told, should follow public opinion. Doubtless, as a coachman follows his horses; having firm hold on the reins and guiding them  (Public Opinion Quotes) The tyranny of public opinion (and what an opinion!) is as fatuous in the small towns of France as it is in the United States of America  (Public Opinion Quotes) Flattery of the people and incapacity to resist public opinion are the democratic vices, particularly among writers, artists, journalists and anyone else who is dependent on an audience  (Public Opinion Quotes) At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion  (Public Opinion Quotes) But being in the closet uniquely assisted me in politics. From my first run for the state legislature until my election as governor, all too often I was not leading but following my best guess at public opinion  (Public Opinion Quotes) What we need are not prohibitory marriage laws, but a reformed society, an educated public opinion which will teach individual duty in these matters  (Public Opinion Quotes) Because the task of a political leader is to do what he believes is better for his country. Sometimes the public opinion is in favor; sometimes the public opinion needs a little bit more time to understand things  (Public Opinion Quotes) I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn’t have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service  (Public Opinion Quotes) The line of least resistance in the progress of civilization is to make that theoretical postulate real by the continually increasing force of the world’s public opinion  (Public Opinion Quotes)
