Summary

This quote suggests that while people are entitled to have their own opinions, it is only their judgments that matter to the public. Opinions may be personal and varied, but judgments imply a more thoughtful and objective evaluation of a situation. The public, therefore, is more concerned with the conclusions individuals draw from their experiences and perspectives rather than simply knowing their personal inclinations or preferences. This quote underlines the importance of critical thinking and the significance given to rational and informed judgments in the public sphere.
