To One's Mind Meaning

(idiomatic) In one's opinion, from one's point of view.

Example: c. 1602, William Shakespeare, Hamlet, act 1, sc. 4:
  Hamlet: Ay, marry, is't:
  But to my mind, though I am native here
  And to the manner born, it is a custom
  More honour'd in the breach than the observance.
1864, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Wylder's Hand, ch. 11:
  To my mind there has always been something inexpressibly awful in family feuds.
1914, H. H. Munro (Saki), "Dusk" in Beasts and Super-Beasts:
  Dusk, to his mind, was the hour of the defeated.
2009 April 19, Gabriel Sherman, "The Wail of the 1%," New York Magazine:
  To her mind, extreme compensation is a fair trade for the compromises of such a career.
