Everyone should have their own opinion and be able to voice it. No matter what it is. Of course, that does not mean your opinion is always right. But, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

Tim McGraw

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion.

Henry David Thoreau

How you present yourself is nobody's business but your own. The stylists have an opinion. The hair people have an opinion. The fans and the management have opinions. Ultimately, you have to trust that you are the safe-keeper of yourself.

Shirley Manson

The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself.

Dan Marino

The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself, nobody can destroy your dignity then, because it is not dependent on anybody's opinion.

Rajneesh

See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds. Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

Henry David Thoreau

The first secret of success: Believe in Yourself. Nothing changes in your life until you believe you can do things that are important to you. And if you have a low opinion of yourself, nobody else is likely to raise it.

There is a kind of desperate need for somebody to tell everyone what to do, which I find really peculiar in America. And then when you tell them, they're not interested, because it's also a country where everybody's opinion is their opinion, and they really don't give a damn what you think. So it's a very odd experience.

Zadie Smith

There is an attitude in the culture that says that everybody is entitled to their opinion. You got to respect their opinion. No, you damn well haven't got to respect their opinion.

Richard Dawkins

The only opinion that really affects me is my own opinion of myself because I determine the way I am, not anyone else.

Jazz Jennings

Never let the opinion of another affect your opinion of yourself.

Teresa Mummert

Follow your instincts and do not let other people's opinion of you become your opinion of yourself.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Focus on your opinion of yourself and not the opinion others have of you.

Winnie Harlow

No matter what you say or do, somebody's always going to be there and will have their own opinion of you. There's nothing you can do about it. You just have to live your life.
