"And so a good many folks thought and they, and I, also thought something else, I can tell you. I know what the verdict of the crowded court would have been!" "What?" asked Carver. "Guilty!" exclaimed Triffitt. "And so far as I'm concerned, I haven't a doubt that the fellow pushed her over the cliff. But opinion's neither here nor there.
The superiority of one man's opinion over another's is never so great as when the opinion's about a woman." "It was to help me to find out what I think of yourself," Nick returned. "Oh, that you'll never do. I shall bewilder you to the end.
"Nonsense, man," said the doctor sharply. "Your opinion's warped. Besides, you're in a blue funk. Come on over to 'old man' Smith's and have a 'freshener. You want bucking-up. Coming, Bill?" he went on, turning to Bunning-Ford. "I want an 'eye-opener' myself. What say to a 'Collins'?"
But as the deed is so is the duty, and the glory of doing it. To one who wants to serve God and his fellow-creatures which I take it is the highest form of religion here is an opportunity that he may bless God for giving him. Here he can earn a brighter crown than is given them who die at the stake for opinion's sake."
You mind if something doesn't happen yon fellow's desperate!" "What should he be desperate about?" asked one of the group. "He's saved his own neck!" "It was that shouting at him when he came out that did it," observed another man quietly. "He's the sort of man to resent aught like that.

Old Jolyon frowned. "It's not that I want it," said James hastily; "it wouldn't suit my purpose at that price. Soames knows the house, well he'll tell you it's too dear his opinion's worth having." "I don't," said old Jolyon, "care a fig for his opinion." "Well," murmured James, "you will have your own way it's a good opinion. Good-bye! We're going to drive down to Hurlingham.
"I don't know whether my opinion's worth having, but I think exactly as Professor Cox-Raythwaite does about this affair. But who's the guilty man? Is it can it be Burchill? If what Barthorpe Herapath says about that will affair is true, Burchill is cunning and subtle enough for " "Burchill, my dear lad, is at present out of our ken," interrupted Cox-Raythwaite.
"Down with the Britisher!" cried Johnny, entering into the spirit of the scene, and tugging at Browne's coat-tails; "make him hurrah for the stars and stripes, or else don't give him any of our oysters!"

Social ostracism for opinion's sake, personal violence or threats toward persons entertaining political views opposed to those entertained by the majority of the old citizens, prevents immigration and the flow of much-needed capital into the States lately in rebellion.
Each one is crowned, sceptered and throned. Upon every brow is the tiara, and around every form is the imperial purple. Only those are good citizens who express their honest thoughts, and those who persecute for opinion's sake, are the only traitors. There, nothing is considered infamous except an appeal to brute force, and nothing sacred but love, liberty, and joy.
