Linda Sarsour

Mike Barnicle
In combat sports, personalities are what draw.
Daniel Bryan
It was only by luck and the blessings of God that my soldiers did not encounter an assault, that we did not run over an IED. And to dishonor our service by saying we’re not worthy of being called combat veterans is insulting to the majority of men and women who serve their country honorably.
Joni Ernst
I think all members of Congress are very concerned about the fact that, while we want to see our law enforcement agencies have every means they can possibly have to combat terrorism, we’ve got to remember that we’ve had a Constitution in place for 225 years, and it has served us well.

Raj Kundra
It's true that if you advise politicians on economic po

It’s true that if you advise politicians on economic policy in the U.S. today, you spend your time in a cross between inquiry and combat. You are always on the periphery of harsh partisan warfare that has nothing to do with substance.

Joni Ernst

Homer Hickam
I don’t know why I’ve always been uncomfortable being too feminine. If a dress has too many flowers on it, if I’m giggling too much, I’m like ugh, put some combat boots on. I love masculine women. I think it’s because I’m like a fake lesbian, I don’t know.
Moon Bloodgood
I’ve been the best fighter in the world at kickboxing – they can’t take that away from me – but when I started in MMA, I realized how great this sport is. It’s the ultimate combat sport, and that’s why I want to be the world’s best at it.
Mark Hunt

MJ Hegar

Frances Beinecke
My favorite pair of shoes I’ve worn for a role would have to be the brown Vera Wang combat boots that Jo wears in her everyday life away from the hospital on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ I love them because they are also something I would wear in my everyday life.

I’ve had some ‘riotous excursions of the human spirit’ alongside the young Sailors and Marines, and it’s time to leave the stage to the young leaders who got their rank the old-fashioned way – they earned their stripes in combat.
Jim Mattis
When community action was put into federal law in the e

When community action was put into federal law in the early sixties as part of the effort to combat poverty and social injustice, I supported it intellectually.
Barney Frank
It was especially hard for me, as a professional pilot. In all of my years of flying – including combat in Korea – this was the first time that my aircraft and I had not come back together. In my entire career as a pilot, ‘Liberty Bell’ was the first thing I had ever lost.
Gus Grissom
I’m more of a fan of combat games than first-person shooters.
Lights
I would like to have had that experience of combat. I would have liked to.

We not only need a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy that prevents the most cataclysmic consequences of global warming, we need real dollars and real planning for coastal protection to combat the consequences that are already inevitable.
Bill de Blasio
We closely track the systems Boeing builds for us, and they’re some very capable systems. So that’s been my focus. It is something that I look at every month. I look at the metrics for all major combat systems and our platforms, which Boeing builds many, and they’re successful platforms.
Mark Esper
Being a depressive should not imply danger any more than being a man or even a human should. Mental illness isn’t a them/us issue; we are all on the scale somewhere. So we must be very careful to resist ignorance and combat the stigma that leads to dangerous silence.
Matt Haig
As a veteran, I know firsthand the satisfaction there is in defending the democracy you so strongly believe in, but I can also attest to the trauma encountered from combat on the battlefield.

There is a difficulty in combating the type of terror that is perpetrated by groups of radical Jews. It’s terror from within, and it is difficult to bring these perpetrators to justice; we need to create tools in order to combat this style of terrorism.
Reuven Rivlin
When the first armies were formed, combat took courage, which women share equally with men, and strength, which we do not. But though I am only 4 feet 7 inches tall, with a gun in my hand I am the equal of a soldier who’s 6 feet 7 – perhaps even at a slight advantage, as I make a smaller target.
Ruth Westheimer
Knowledge doesn’t really form part of human nature. Conflict, combat, the outcome of the combat, and, consequently, risk and chance are what gives rise to knowledge. Knowledge is not instinctive; it is counter instinctive, just as it is not natural but counter natural.
Michel Foucault
A person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get an education, to go and earn a commission in the United States Army, to serve for 22 years, to lead men and women in combat.
Allen West
It’s not about how much money I’m getting paid. It’s just a love of one-on-one combat. I feel I’m at home. I love the ring entrances, the talking. I’m the master of it all.

Walter Dean Myers
Your body’s really only meant to compete at the highest levels of combat sports for a few years.
Joe Rogan
When I was young, I watched my mom and dad build everything that matters: a family, a business and a good name. I was raised to believe in hard work, in faith and family. My dad, Ed Pence, was a combat veteran in Korea.

We need a comprehensive strategy that includes expanding criminal background checks for all commercial gun sales, dedicated federal law to combat gun trafficking, and a strong commitment to mental health services.
Elizabeth Esty
My signature look is an eighties baby doll dress, combat boots with colorful socks sticking out, and then mounds of jewelry. I love silver and turquoise. I go to Montana every winter, so I hunt around for cool pieces there.

Having too many layers of approval in a dynamic battlefield environment delays our ability to fight and win, especially when troops are engaged in combat.
Ryan Zinke
To the degree that we can demonstrate support for the Ukrainian government, we can change Putin’s calculus and increase the risk to him and to Russia for moving combat forces closer to Kiev.
Mike Pompeo
More combat planes, missiles and soldiers won’t provide additional bread for our families, desks for our schools, or medicine for our clinics.
Óscar Arias
Prayer in a combat zone serves exactly the same purpose as it does in peacetime. In war, the stakes are life and death, true; but if you believe in God and in the notion of a human soul, then we are always making decisions of tremendous significance.
Phil Klay
Memorial bracelets memorializing prisoners of war, missing in action, killed in action, and those who died of wounds or injuries sustained in a combat theater are authorized.

We are going to unite the people, rescue the family, re

We are going to unite the people, rescue the family, respect religions and our Judeo-Christian tradition, combat gender ideology, conserving our values.
Jair Bolsonaro
One thing that was amazing about World War II was that everybody signed up for the duration plus six months. Fliers got to leave combat after 25 missions, or 35 missions, but other than that, you were in it. You were part of the great effort, until, oh boy, six months after it was over.
Tom Hanks
Before ‘Final Fantasy VII,’ I would have told you that I had zero interest in RPGs with turn-based combat. But that game was so well done, I didn’t care what genre it was. Any genre can be done poorly or done well.
Tim Schafer
Well, you know, we train really hard before we go to combat, and so that, when we go to combat, we’re ready to execute.
Amy McGrath
I had 12 years in the Army before I ever faced combat.
Tammy Duckworth
Mr. Trump has evolved to the point where he understands that a grass-roots strategy must be supplemented with paid advertising to be able to combat the negative ads that will run against him – and he is prepared or preparing to spend what it takes to make sure his message gets to the voters.
Corey Lewandowski
The world is an increasingly dangerous, troubled place. There are nations that seem to be ungovernable. Nations where violence and religious combat are as common as the sunrise.
Mike Barnicle
With the pandemic crushing the world, I pray for everyone’s health and well-being. I wish the world heals fast. Every morning I wake up with the hope that a vaccine gets invented soon to combat Covid-19.
Koel Mallick
Epidemiologists study patterns in order to combat infection. Stories about epidemics follow patterns, too. Stories aren’t often deadly, but they can be virulent: spreading fast, weakening resistance, wreaking havoc.
Jill Lepore
Yes, my life is a life of combat; I can say that this has never stopped for a single instant. It is a combat that started for me at the age of 16. I’m 90 years old now, and my motivation hasn’t changed; it’s the same fervour that drives me.
Ahmed Ben Bella
As an infantry officer who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, I have led men in combat and trained them on tactics and strategy. The mission of the infantry is to ‘close with, and destroy, the enemy.’ Our job, in a direct way, is to fight and win wars.
Pete Hegseth
I was living alone, so I’d get quite lonely and running became a way to combat my loneliness and de-stress.

Tom Vilsack
As a combat veteran, I know the cost of war.
Tulsi Gabbard
There’s nothing like experiencing the sights and sounds of a live robot combat event.
Grant Imahara
We all recognize that Colorado and our nation have a long and storied tradition of gun ownership for hunting, outdoor recreation and self-defense. However, I am not convinced that combat weapons are necessarily part of that heritage.
Mark Udall
When the question arose whether I, as a member of the royal family, should take part in active combat in the Falklands, there was no question in her mind, and it only took her two days to sort the issue.
Prince Andrew
I am a combat veteran and a working mom and a fighter, and I’ve already been successful taking on the dark forces in D.C.
MJ Hegar
All combat sports are connected.

To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something, that enables a person to jump into one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough.
Rupert Everett
If we had done the work that we should have done in the 20th century to combat our history of racial inequality, no one could win national office after demonizing people because they’re Mexican or Muslim. We would be in a place where we would find that unacceptable.
Bryan Stevenson
The FBI is engaged in a myriad of efforts to combat cyber threats, from improving threat identification and information sharing inside and outside of the government to developing and retaining new talent, to examining the way we operate to disrupt and defeat these threats.
Christopher A. Wray
You get a world-class athlete like Hershel Walker, who was a Heisman trophy winner and did some amazing things, but he had a martial arts background. He did kickboxing. He had a combat sports background. It was just rekindling that training and that martial arts workout ethic. He got back into it and did quite well.
Scott Coker
One of the top political issues of the day is how to combat young people not being active anymore.
Lynn Davies
Responding to terrorism inevitably implies military consequences. This may shock some people, but these groups must also be dealt with on a military footing. I won’t use the word ‘combat’ to avoid being painted as a crusader.
Paolo Gentiloni
Modernity and technology are not going to mitigate the need, the reality, of face-to-face combat, and I don’t care who it is – when you put a man against a woman in hand-to-hand combat, the chance is the man is going to win… This is a physiological issue, not a culture issue.
Todd Wilcox
New technologies are rapidly giving rise to unprecedented methods of warfare. Innovations that yesterday were science fiction could cause catastrophe tomorrow, including nanotechnologies, combat robots, and laser weapons.
Peter Maurer
I trained in combat, sword fighting, horse riding… It’s empowering knowing that I can a break man’s nose with my elbow.
Gwendoline Christie
I don’t know that there’s any rhyme or reason to bullying… it’s not even the bully’s fault, which is why it’s such a difficult thing to combat.
Dove Cameron
The best way to honor our troops, the less than 1% of our country’s population who voluntarily put their lives on the line in service to our country, is by making sure that when they are sent into combat, it is the last option, not the first, and that the mission is worthy of their great sacrifice.
Tulsi Gabbard
In 1949, I saw a World War II veteran named Lou Brissie, who had nearly lost a lower leg in combat, pitch in the All-Star Game in Brooklyn.
George Vecsey
I think life is hard at the combat outposts, and anythi

I think life is hard at the combat outposts, and anything that distracts us from supporting them, in my mind, is something that we shouldn’t do.
Stanley A. McChrystal
We should be redoubling our own efforts to combat climate change, not watering them down.
Ed Davey
Hate has a language, so we have to find a language to combat that.
John David Washington
A lot of what a military officer does is not just leading troops in combat. It’s also doing budgets. It’s solving complex problems. If you can sit down with warlords, you can certainly sit down with different parties and folks with different interests and come out with an amenable solution.
Ryan Zinke
As a teenager, I was undeveloped and out of touch. The arts was another arena in which to do combat and challenge myself. I read difficult books like James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses,’ but I didn’t really understand it, and no one was going to call me on it because I was 16.
Jesse Andrews
The FBI is engaged in a myriad of efforts to combat cyber threats, from efforts focused on threat identification and sharing inside and outside of government, to our internal emphasis on developing and retaining new talent and changing the way we operate to evolve with the cyber threat.
James Comey
Units were coming to combat with DCGS because it was their tool kit, so to speak, but they basically had it boxed up and parked in a corner. They were using off-the-shelf stuff they were having to buy prior to coming into the theater.
Michael T. Flynn
In professional wrestling, I’m sure in combat sports, there’s always gonna be testosterone.
Booker T
I love going on Chris Hayes’ show. It probably is my favorite because of the intensity of the intellectual combat.
Matt Gaetz
I’ll tell ya, I’m a pro-Second Amendment person, I’m a gun owner. I went to combat with a 9 millimeter strapped to my chest and a 20 millimeter cannon on the front of my jet. I’m no stranger to weapons.
Amy McGrath
There’s full consensus in the military that women shouldn’t be in person-to-person combat. I don’t know if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be elsewhere. We have mandatory military service in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.
Michelle Bachelet
I do not believe that the children of presidents or vice-presidents should be assigned to combat zones. They have no place there.
John Eisenhower
Putting women in military combat is the cutting edge of the feminist goal to force us into an androgynous society.
Phyllis Schlafly
There’s a clamor among the Salvadoran people to combat corruption.
Nayib Bukele
I’ve seen men and women who were fit for combat that I wanted to fight beside, and men and women who I really wouldn’t want to go back into combat with. It really doesn’t have anything to do with gender.
MJ Hegar
Anyone who has spoken to experienced combat troops knows that they rarely brag about their exploits. Strong and silent is the preferred style.
Linda Colley
After the loss of Columbia a couple of years ago, I think we were reminded of the risk. All of us, though, have always known that the Space Shuttle is a very risky vehicle, much more risky than even flying airplanes in combat.
Mark Kelly
Most combat is not a hand-to-hand knife battle that the person who can do the most push-ups is going to end up winning.
MJ Hegar
You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter.
John Romero
Republicans can continue to protest reality and stick their heads in the sand, but the sooner they acknowledge the very basic facts of climate change, the sooner they can get to crafting a conservative strategy to combat it, instead of ceding the territory solely to Democrats.
S.E. Cupp
We should be challenging and reforming our legislation around the world to actually combat hostile actors, whether they’re domestic or foreign.
Christopher Wylie
Soft Sounds’ was really hard for me. I was petrified of the ‘sophomore slump’ so I created an environment to best combat that self-doubt and feelings that my first album was a real fluke.
Michelle Zauner
Certainly we’re going to continue to see those commercials that I call 30-second drive-by shootings. And they’re going to have a lot of money to do it. But we’re going to combat it.
Tom Barrett
I have stage combat training from college, which is drastically different than fighting for the screen, but I do enjoy that kind of stuff.
Sonequa Martin-Green
I know MMA isn’t for everyone. It is a combat sport; some people don’t like watching it, but it is entertainment for some people.
Katie Taylor
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be in combat.
Jocko Willink
Homelessness can be complex, and some rough sleepers will refuse help when living on the street becomes entrenched. But fining people, confiscating tents, and forcing people to move on from certain areas will do nothing to combat the core issues that cause homelessness.
Dawn Foster
I don’t think I have to combat Airbnb. It is like comparing Tiffany to a shop that sells things for one dollar.
Harry Triguboff
In combat sports, you should retire on top. That is very hard to do. I’m glad I had the discipline to do it.
Georges St-Pierre
Working together, we can meet our shared goal to combat climate change. From harmonizing vehicle emissions standards to using our trading relationship to boost investment in clean energy, the actions the United States and Canada take together will help both nations meet international goals.
Amy Klobuchar
I mean… if you’re raised as a decent human being, killing somebody is against every moral thing you’ve ever been taught. And so, generally, in combat it’s ‘krauts,’ the ‘gooks,’ the ‘yanks’ – whatever you want to do to try and make it so that it’s not a human being.
Karl Marlantes
One of our priorities is to have an enabling environmen

One of our priorities is to have an enabling environment for private investment, both domestic and foreign investment, and that means we are going to officially combat corruption because we believe that this scourge, this illness, hinders our efforts to attract private investors.
Joao Lourenco
Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation – not cynicism and combat.
Rick Perry
My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
Mary-Louise Parker
When I travel around the country, I see great companies with new ideas and a can-do attitude. But too often they are in hand-to-hand and pen-to-paper combat with officialdom.
Liz Truss
Machida Karate is for real combat. Other karate may be not for real combat because there are many rules for the competition, and a lot of the rules aren’t good for real combat – you can’t do some takedowns, you can’t finish the fight on the ground. Machida Karate is very different.
Lyoto Machida
The proximate cause of Iraq’s unraveling was the increasing authoritarian, sectarian, and corrupt conduct of the Iraqi government and its leader after the departure of the last U.S. combat forces in 2011.
David Petraeus
It is time for President Obama to admit that – in this new age of peer-to-peer terror – we need a real strategy to combat radicalization at home and destroy extremist safe havens abroad.
Michael McCaul
Cain Velasquez, for my money, is the most intimidating force ever in heavyweight combat.
Chael Sonnen
Ronald Reagan in foreign affairs, I think, was someone who had certain, very general ideas, general propositions by which he lives: To combat communism, to build up the American military power to assure our national security against any conceivable threat.
Robert Dallek
There should be an honest attempt at the reconciliation of differences before resorting to combat.
Jimmy Carter
Like in combat when you’re in chaos, a Navy SEAL in chaos, you cannot be afraid of dying for a cause.
Vitor Belfort
We are living in a epoch where there is combat between commercialism, or the system of reckless waste, and communism, or the system of neighbourly common sense.
William Morris
Europe certainly needs a genuine conservative movement to combat the creeping bureaucratic collectivism that is stifling the human potential of the Continent.
Robert Zubrin
Through their own actions, customers can hold companies responsible to higher standards of social responsibility. Through collective action, they can leverage their dollars to combat the force of those investors who myopically pursue profits at the expense of the rest of society.
Simon Mainwaring
I went to LAMDA, which is a drama school in London, and we did a lot of combat there. I was quite good at all that.
Emily Beecham
Forcing women in or near land combat will hurt recruiting, not help.
Phyllis Schlafly
As a former Captain in the Army National Guard, I trained hundreds of soldiers to lead troops into combat.
Jason Kander
It is not advantageous for Russia in its present state to fight against Chechnya. The army is a mess. It must be made combat ready. That will take time. Russia has a lot of economic, social and political problems much more important than Chechnya.
Aslan Maskhadov
It is one thing to go into combat, but quite another to go in with the sapping knowledge that what you do in the next few chaotic minutes or hours in the name of your mates, your regiment, your country, might also see you dragged into court.
Nicholas Soames
Hard work enables us to improve ourselves and the world around us, to combat injustice, reduce suffering, and increase human freedom.
Joe Lonsdale
Of course we’ve been fighting against stereotypes from Day One at East West. That’s the reason we formed: to combat that, and to show we are capable of more than just fulfilling the stereotypes – waiter, laundryman, gardener, martial artist, villain.
Mako
Being in good physical shape is the best way to combat depression. You just have endorphins running around your body. It is the best anti-depressive that there is.
Chris Pratt
In an interview with a journalist, you look petty taking the pot shot but in a slick ad you can really do damage – including unfair damage – from afar. It is not that much different than waging a war by a drone than by hand-to-hand combat.
Greta Van Susteren
Even though the National Guard and Army Reserve see combat today, it rankles me that people assume it was some kind of waltz in the park back then.
Larry David
I decided to start a medical training program for freelancers, only freelancers. They’re the ones who are doing most of the combat reporting. They’re taking most of the risks. They’re absorbing most of the casualties. And they’re the most underserved and under-resourced of everyone in the entire news business.
Sebastian Junger
In uniform, I had to make judgments about the best course of action in combat when the only choices were ‘bad’ or ‘worse.’ As a member of the media, I only had to decide how to get the best ‘shot’ – preferably without getting shot.
Oliver North
I went to Juilliard, for God’s sakes. I know a little something about combat.
Danielle Brooks
I think it’s important to have scaling challenge because there are players who I feel play ‘Dragon Age’ for the wonder, story and exploration but wouldn’t enjoy getting their butts handed to them. We do still have easy mode – it’s not a pure story mode in that there’s zero combat, but it’s not super-challenging.
Marc Laidlaw
We support every effort to combat international terrorism through the formulation of international conventions and hope that the international community will take further steps to improve the anti-terrorism international legal framework.
Li Peng
Marines dying or being seriously wounded is commonplace in combat.
John F. Kelly
In the past, action to combat climate change was viewed largely as running counter to economic growth, with ‘going green’ implying a sacrifice of prosperity for the sake of the environment. Today, we know better.
Guy Ryder

I have always been a big fan of combat sports – ever since I can remember, it was something that appealed to me and something that I thought I would be good at.
Urijah Faber
The family that I live for only breathes the air that smells of combat.
The Ultimate Warrior
I’m here to be the greatest combat sports heavyweight of all-time, and if that includes taking out Jon Jones to do that, then that’s what I’ve got to do.
Greg Hardy
I don’t feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.
Conor McGregor
In the British Special Air Service, combat fitness is all about running.
Bear Grylls
