No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago.

I would never make fun of anyone who is obviously disabled who cannot defend himself, like Donald Trump.
The panda is a funny, lovable animal, which defends its territory well. It’s strong but calm. It suits me perfectly.
The poor dog, in life the firmest friend. The first to welcome, foremost to defend.
I regret the times I’ve been mean to people… It’s fine to pick on people who can defend themselves and deserve it. Some people don’t deserve to be picked on who I picked on, so I don’t do it anymore.

It’s not about whether we should have a conservative or a liberal. It’s about, do we have someone that has the mental acumen to understand what the laws are, and not write laws but defend the laws. That’s the whole purpose of three branches of government.
Kieran Tierney’s work rate is just amazing. He gives 100 percent in every game, he makes lots of runs and makes lots of assists too. He defends, he goes forward, he is every inch the modern left back.

I do not like to use a player solely to make a member of the opposing team, for one simple reason: when we cannot retrieve the ball, we are forced to defend with ten men, giving the opponents an advantage.
We need to have a strong economy that can create employment opportunities and that can also produce the revenue that we need to defend our country at home and abroad.
We need to understand the difference between freedom of religion – which is absolutely guaranteed and I would fervently defend. Sharia law is politics; it’s not religion. If you say that a woman is voluntarily going to be of lesser value than a man, which is in sharia law, can we allow that?
I think I did very well against everyone who tried to defend me.
When you look at the original ‘Paradise Lost’ film, you see three kids who can’t defend themselves, being persecuted in a medieval way – witchcraft, satanic worship. It was kind of primitive.

I am grateful for the sacrifices our veterans have made to defend our freedom and prosperity.
I have faced many, but the most annoying was James Milner. He follows you forward and follows you backwards. It’s very difficult because he attacks you and defends you, and then attacks you and defends you again.
I dreamed even after I laid down my rifle I would continue to uphold my oath to defend the Constitution.
Holding office often requires swearing an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Running for office should include accepting responsibility for this, too, so that our democratic republic’s underpinnings can remain strong for generations to come.

I hate whenever there’s a social issue that comes up in golf and people in the mainstream media who hate golf and who’ve conjured up all these stereotypes of people who are in the sport, the way they tear it down… I resent it, and I’ll defend golf and people in golf until my dying day.
The people standing up most strongly for our democracies should be celebrated, not prosecuted – be it those countless human rights defenders who defend all our rights or the brave whistle-blowers who expose tax dodging.
Flaws and all, I believe the free press is our country’s most important institution – one I am more than happy to defend. One I did, in fact, defend for 37 years.

If you have been brought up with attacking and trying to get to number two, number three, number four goal, not getting one goal and defend, if that’s sort of the mentality that’s engraved in you, it’s really difficult to do the other thing.
Venezuelan interests are to be defended by Venezuela. The U.S. should defend the interests of the U.S. Where are the U.S. people, where are the intellectuals, who could put limits on their government?
I definitely want to defend my 145 belt.
The thing I find really scary about ghosts and demons is that you don’t really know what they are or where they are. They’re not very well understood. You don’t know what they want from you. So it’s the kind of thing you don’t even know how to defend yourself against. Anything that’s unknown and mysterious is very scary.
Deception can cost billions. Think Enron, Madoff, the mortgage crisis. Or in the case of double agents and traitors, like Robert Hanssen or Aldrich Ames, lies can betray our country. They can compromise our security. They can undermine democracy. They can cause the deaths of those that defend us.

The proud do not change to improve, but defend their position by rationalizing. Repentance means change, and it takes a humble person to change.
I defend a woman’s right to cover her hair if she chooses, but the face is central to human interaction, and so the ideologues who promote its covering are simply misogynists.
I will work hard at the federal level to defend our progress on climate change, but we know that forward progress on climate must happen locally.
I don’t know a single person that’s like, ”Avatar’ is my favorite movie.’ It never even comes up. I don’t know anyone that will defend that movie.

Everybody has a right to be defended, and every lawyer has a duty to defend people accused. And my office is to defend him, to discuss the accusation point by point, as I think this is a normal step in a democracy.
The Republicans have put together serious detailed counter-proposals when we have objected to this administration’s agenda. And so, I want to tell the President and remind him again, we’re not voting no for political expediency. We’ve got our principles, and we’re going to stand up and defend those.
I won the title with Arsenal in 2004 and it is harder to defend it the following season.

Why am I a liberal? Because I don’t forget that I’m an immigrant and that I’m a Hispanic and that I have a Latin accent when I speak English, and I want to defend those who get racially profiled by people who would discriminate against us?

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
