people, yea of that people
that voiced themselves the people of God, did prosecute the God of all

worth in that uneven balance, in which a feather of opinion shall be
moment enough to turn the scales and make a light piece go current, and
a current piece seem light. —Arthur Warwick.

opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a
strong underlying sense of justice. —Abraham Lincoln.

The more opinions you have, the less you
see. —Wim Wenders.

any basic view of things. —Ingmar Bergman
