"In civilized life, where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man, depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part"

This quote by Jeremy Collier talks to the value of the opinions of others in our lives. In a civilized society, our happiness and even our presence is largely depending on the viewpoints of our fellow guys. As an outcome, we are often forced to act in such a way that is not necessarily true to ourselves, but rather in a manner that will be accepted by those around us. We need to put on a "studied part" in order to suit and be accepted. This can be seen in the method we dress, the way we talk, and the way we act. We must be mindful of the viewpoints of others in order to achieve success and delighted in our lives.
