It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have been forged in controversies involving not very nice people.
I’m not opposed to free trade if it’s fair trade. But I am opposed to bad trade deals.
It is fair to say that insofar as sport is taken seriously by those who play it, then to that extent their conduct in play – their ability to deal with loss or victory, their ability to meld strategic thinking and brute force – can be taken as a small-scale model of how they, or others like them, might behave in life.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?
True enough, nature has endowed me with a fair measure of patience and composure, yet I should be lying if I told you that, having seen the reporter off on his way to make his deadline, I fell peacefully asleep.

Free and fair elections have again demonstrated that Jammu and Kashmir is part of India, and the people want to remain with it.
The Loire Valley is grossly underestimated. The prices are fair, and the wines are real.
