I decided to get to know my opponents and their arguments.
The John Birch Society is not ultra-conservative, communist-hating, and racist as opponents paint it.
I want these ranked opponents.
It’s simply unrealistic to depend on secrecy for security in computer software. You may be able to keep the exact workings of the program out of general circulation, but can you prevent the code from being reverse-engineered by serious opponents? Probably not. The secret to strong security: less reliance on secrets.
In football you need opponents, competition because if you are alone with two or three clubs controlling everything you don’t have any competition.
If I always fought dominating my opponents without being hit back some times there would be no fun in it. That’s the fun part, to have a war, there has to be a war.
Listen man, Andrei Arlovski is a tough guy, but he hasn’t fought the caliber of opponents I’ve been fighting.
To make it big, a fighter needs power. Otherwise, sooner or later, he’ll fall victim to opponents who force the issue and take two or three punches to land one.
If candidates spend money on ads and other political speech and their opponents are rewarded with government handouts to attack them, that chills speech and is unconstitutional. Non-participating candidates certainly don’t volunteer to allow their opponents to receive taxpayer subsidies to bash them.
I’m always looking to go out there and finish my opponents as soon as possible so I can stay safe and protected.
If you’re well-prepared, you know what you’re doing, and you have an idea what the opponents can do – what their strengths and weaknesses are – once you get into the game, those adjustments will be – I won’t say easy, but relatively easier and more manageable.
Ultimately, I feel like I’m doing everything right. I’m slowly but surely climbing up the ladder. I’m taking out bigger names with every fight. Not just beating them on a point level – I’m finishing every single one of my opponents.
The point of a presidential campaign is to put the candidate through the ringer: to force him to get banged up by his opponents and the press, and to have to answer the difficult and uncomfortable questions, be investigated, and learn the thrust and parry of political swordplay.
Like any extraordinary power, surveillance provides temptations for abuse, such as tracking political opponents and journalists.
Abortion opponents say women seek abortions in haste and confusion. Pro-choicers reply: Abortion is the most difficult, agonizing decision a woman ever makes.
Reveling in our opponents’ missteps and losses drags us down as a country and diminishes our potential as people.
Important in a big tournament is how you start. With a great match at the start, you can distance yourself from the unrest from outside. And it increases the respect among opponents.
I’ve been telling people I need to start smiling to my opponents and shaking hands and just being nice, so then when the bell rings, I catch them off-guard, because I used to catch people off-guard, but everyone’s ready now.
Some people get very confused about my game. They think it’s better if the court is slow, because I have a good defence. But the faster it is, the better for me. My spin is more painful for my opponents, my aggressive game works better.
There are different tactics depending on the opponents we face, and we respect the manager’s choices.
The opponents of this process have always tried to vilify westernization as a poor imitation.
We always have respect for our opponents, but we will try to enforce our own game.
You can lose to any team and then beat your top opponents and still not be in the top four.
Opponents of New York City’s proactive style of policing struggle mightily to downplay its most obvious benefit: the largest crime drop on record, concentrated overwhelmingly in minority neighborhoods.
Playing tricky poker doesn’t have to mean making bizarre moves or playing way out of character. Rather, it’s simply about taking advantage of what you know about your opponents and how they perceive your style of play.
The fact that our government is using instruments of government like the IRS to punish its opponents, this is not the kind of thing that is a Democrat or a Republican issue. This is an American issue… A lot of people do not feel free to express themselves.
I want to thank all of my opponents. Iron sharpens iron, and every great victory or crushing defeat occurred because there was someone who trained hard and had the courage to meet me across the cage.
Modi has misused institutions like the ED, Intelligence Bureau, CBI, RBI and National Statistical Commission for political gains and harassing his political opponents. Modi lost his credibility by all these acts.
I broke people’s bones, tore muscles, ribs, faces, inflicted some serious and heavy damages to my opponents, etc… I got hurt myself, too, from serious attacks.
I’m used to compete at 135 pounds, and I know I will always be shorter than my opponents.
The best tournament players actually try to avoid risky plays altogether. They prefer to wait for their opponents to make the risky moves. They’ll wait patiently until they catch a strong hand. When they do, they’ll take down their overly aggressive foes.
I want my opponents to look at me across the net and just not want to play me because I look so fit and amazing and strong. So that’s always my goal.
Often dismissed or underestimated by political opponents, President Reagan had the most valuable weapon in the political arsenal: a bond with the people.
I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.
We found evolution will punish you if you’re selfish and mean. For a short time and against a specific set of opponents, some selfish organisms may come out ahead. But selfishness isn’t evolutionarily sustainable.
I understand the harsh feelings and sentiments from my opponents and their supporters because I myself have been defeated twice in my political life in the past and I understand very well it is hard to accept your own failure.
For more than four decades, the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant – Moammar Gaddafi. He has denied his people freedom, exploited their wealth, murdered opponents at home and abroad, and terrorized innocent people around the world – including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.
Half the lies our opponents tell about us are untrue.
For too long, opponents of the PATRIOT Act have transformed this law into a grossly distorted caricature that bears no relation to the legislation itself.
Winning a pro tournament is another step toward getting fights against higher-ranked opponents.
I like fighting where my opponents are better.
All I do is fight, consistently, the best guys in the world, and sure, I’ve lost a couple here and there, but I’ve certainly won the majority of my fights. There are those who pick and choose opponents and try to pad their record along the way, but I’ve never done that.
Politically, Obama’s amazing streak of self-destructing opponents who have lain beneath his feet during his unlikely political career appears to be holding.
Going up against a great champion like Cavani, giving each other hell for 90 minutes, then being able to walk off as opponents who respect one another is the beauty of sport.
Watching tape is key. I basically watch every game. It’s the only way to break down your opponents.
Usually with my opponents, I don’t care if they win the lottery or they die.
In 1791, the right to bear arms to defend against an over-reaching government wasn’t theoretical. Today, it’s hard to imagine physical weapons serving the same purpose. But it’s easy to see how hacktivists might – especially if you broaden the opponents to include hate groups and rapacious multinationals.
I’ve never picked any of my opponents – from Amir Khan to Lucas Matthysse to Keith Thurman to Lamont Peterson.
I get the headlines for being slick and different things like that – which is part of my game – but it’s just amazing to me that a lot of times, the people don’t see the other things that go on in that ring. But a lot of times, when my opponents figure it out, the fight is over. It’s too late.
During Seattle’s successful campaign for a $15 an hour minimum wage, our opponents would sometimes roll their eyes and snort, ‘If $15 is so good, why not $50?’ It was a straw man argument: Nobody was proposing a $50 minimum wage; it would have been too high, and we said so.
I don’t pick opponents. I don’t care about who I’m going to fight.
Primarily affecting low-information voters and members of the mainstream media, Obama Worship Syndrome attributes impossible capabilities to Obama’s political opponents, finds excuses for every Obama failure in everyone around him and praises the president as the finest politician – nay, human being – of our time.
When President Trump attacks the media and his political opponents for criticizing him, he’s attacking our founding principles.
Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, has long believed that he, his staff and players should be as devoted to family time as they are to playing time, as focused on giving to charities as they are to taking the ball away from opponents.
