Opposition always inflames the enthusiast, never converts him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution.
For me, opposition is just another opposition.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
To be in opposition is not to be a nihilist.
Opposition is not necessarily enmity; it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.
He who does without the praise of the crowd will not deny himself an opportunity to be his own adherent.
You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.
Just because you have opposition doesn't make you a great leader.
I was faced more with apathy than opposition.
The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opposition than from his fervent supporters.
