It’s incomprehensible for me to hear another dude talk about another’s dude’s pockets and have that matter and argue about that.
I always listen to my director and never argue with him.
I would argue that the culture is not the frosting on the cake: the culture is the plate the cake sits on.
I admire my fellow judge Paul Hollywood enormously, though we often argue. He believes presentation and uniformity are paramount; I’m more interested in taste. I don’t mind if one bun is smaller than the others, or if there’s a little pastry cracking, though I don’t want a soggy bottom.
At times I perhaps get a bit frustrated because I maybe don’t get to touch the ball as much as I want, but when I do get to touch the ball, it’s obviously in good positions and I’m scoring so I can’t really argue.
I would have strong opinions and be prepared to argue my case, but if you talk to my colleagues, I think you’d find they consider me the jokester, the informal mayor of the West Wing.
I really wasn’t expecting to fall so hard for Phil. As a matter of fact, when my dad said he was talking to Phil Jackson about him coming to L.A. to coach the Lakers, I tried to argue against it.
Having a weapon like that means you’re pretty much in control of events. Nobody’s going to argue with a flaming sword.
One might argue that proper understanding of any social situation would require game-theoretic analysis.
Big Water makes an argument straight out of Economics 101. The best way to deliver water to people’s homes efficiently, the water barons argue, is to put the process in the hands of the market. If water is scarce, then raise the price – let the law of supply and demand take over!
We can’t leave everything to the free market. In fact, climate change is, I would argue, the greatest single free-market failure. This is what happens when you don’t regulate corporations and you allow them to treat the atmosphere as an open sewer.
You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it.
Landscape is more than flat land covered by floodwater, the seeping of peat bogs, a river of liquid pewter viewed from a sentry tower. It’s an influence on what a person values, what she is willing to sacrifice or argue for.
How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can’t argue with them. That’s their perception.
People would much rather argue their own visions and conceptions about a book than engage in a dialogue with the author, because the author could always trump you with, ‘I wrote it.’
Some argue that recognition of the genocide has become even more problematic now, when the world is at war with terrorism and the United States cannot afford to offend the sensibility of our Turkish ally.
I’d be happy to have regular face-to-face meetings at Downing Street with David Cameron to argue the case for alternative economic policies.
There’s a really classic cliche every time you switch the TV on – you see cops arguing. I have spent a day a week for many years in the presence of police and I have never seen them argue. It’s a military hierarchy. They do what they’re told. There’s no bickering.
I detest life-insurance agents: they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.
It would probably strike the average politician as absurd to argue that the best way to fix the economy is to stop trying to ‘fix it.’
Students need to learn how to think critically, how to argue opposing ideas. It is important for them to learn how to think. You can always cook.
I was born to argue… I don’t know why. I mean, from arguing with my teachers and, on occasions, my parents. I think I’ve mastered the art of argument at a fairly young age.
When we argue for our limitations, we get to keep them.
The environmentalists say capitalism is killing our oceans, air, land, and forests. Capitalists argue that they provide food, fuel, and building materials for a growing world.
Stop pretending there’s anything wrong with businesspeople hiring diligent laborers who will work for less. Let employers sponsor any worker and argue for why that worker should be given citizenship. Such a vetting mechanism would naturally promote the best and hardest-working.
What some people argue is that Vietnam stands for the proposition that there’s no role for American power anywhere on earth. I don’t believe that’s the case at all. I think we’re the strongest force for democracy and for stability on earth, and we must have a strong capacity to perform that role.
You can’t argue with stupidity.
It is possible to argue that our present conception of revolution was staked out more securely in science than in political action.
