As if there wasn't a thousand things that were never heard.

Somewhere out there, beyond the walls of the courthouse, run currents and tides of public opinion which lap at the courtroom door.

I am suspicious of all the things that the average people believes.

American public opinion is like an ocean, it cannot be stirred by a teaspoon.

No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the record for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.

In America, public opinion is the leader.
