The private citizen, beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion, will soon see, perhaps, that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence, but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence.

Source: Public Opinion, ch. 17 (1922).
-- Walter Lippmann, (Sep 23 1889-1974), US journalist, editor, author; He won Pulitzers 1958, 1962, for his syndicated column, Today and Tomorrow.
