"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common" — John Locke

A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world

One must judge men not by their opinions, but by what their opinions have made of them

The world is governed by opinion

He is no lawyer who cannot take two sides

I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.

Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable
