Usage : {
Sentiment }, {
Opinion }, {
Feeling }.
An opinion is an intellectual judgment in respect to any and every kind of truth .
Feeling describes those affections of pleasure and pain which spring from the exercise of our sentient and emotional powers .
Sentiment (
particularly in the plural )
lies between them ,
denoting settled opinions or principles in regard to subjects which interest the feelings strongly ,
and are presented more or less constantly in practical life .
Hence ,
it is more appropriate to speak of our religious sentiments than opinions ,
unless we mean to exclude all reference to our feelings .
The word sentiment ,
in the singular ,
leans ordinarily more to the side of feeling ,
and denotes a refined sensibility on subjects affecting the heart . "
On questions of feeling ,
taste ,
observation ,
or report ,
we define our sentiments .
On questions of science ,
argument ,
or metaphysical abstraction ,
we define our opinions .
The sentiments of the heart .
The opinions of the mind . .
.
There is more of instinct in sentiment ,
and more of definition in opinion .
The admiration of a work of art which results from first impressions is classed with our sentiments ;
and ,
when we have accounted to ourselves for the approbation ,
it is classed with our opinions ." --

Taylor .
