For me, baseball is more comparable to chess than it is to hockey.
The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent’s playing ability is comparable, does the game develop.
Emotionally, I have no picture-book illustrated with memories of my first five years, but externally, I have impressions that possess a haunting vividness comparable only to the texture of dreams, when dreams are tumultuously alive.
Mrs Thatcher not only made history by becoming Britain’s first female prime minister, she was the first woman to hold any comparable position in the western world.
Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.
No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.
When I’m dead, I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do. I don’t wanna get ideas above my station, but why shouldn’t this be comparable? Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later, and it means something to us, and it always will do. It’s incredibly important.
Without a Mayaguez, or something comparable that we don’t see in the immediate future, there is probably no one thing the President can do to himself to turn this situation around.
I have learned as much in the last three years as in any other comparable period of my life, but with an added realisation of how little over a half century of study one has in fact managed to learn of the whole range of economic policy issues.
I have a freedom that’s incredibly valuable. Obviously my freedom is far smaller in scale than people like Zemeckis and Spielberg have here. But it’s comparable. I can dream up a project, develop it, make it, control it, release it.
Consumer groups fought hard to provide investor protections for ‘special entities’ such as pension funds, schools, and municipalities who purchase swaps. No comparable protection exists in the futures market.
School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.
For the first time, individual hackers could afford to have home machines comparable in power and storage capacity to the minicomputers of ten years earlier – Unix engines capable of supporting a full development environment and talking to the Internet.
Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.
For the first time, individual hackers could afford to have home machines comparable in power and storage capacity to the minicomputers of ten years earlier – Unix engines capable of supporting a full development environment and talking to the Internet.
There’s nothing comparable to as ‘in shape’ as a professional dancer. You’d have to train eight hours a day for that.
What I want veterans to know is that VA is here to care for them. VA is a good system – health care wise, safety wise – highly comparable to any other system out there. Our oversight reviews tell us that. I’m very comfortable in the quality of our system.
Politics is comparable to boxing. The only thing is that in politics there are basically no rules. In boxing, you can get a black eye, but in politics you can get poison in your food or a bullet in the head. It’s definitely rougher and tougher than other sports.
Little do we find any Phoenician architecture or plastic art at all comparable even to those of Italy, to say nothing of the lands where art was native.
Humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history, largely to meet rapidly growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber and fuel. This has resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth.
There have not been children of comparable youth in the White House since the Kennedy era.
A femtosecond is comparable to one second in 32 million years. It is like watching a 32-million-year movie to see one second.
‘The New Yorker’s’ drama critics have always had a comparable authority because, for the most part, the magazine made it a practice to employ critics who moonlighted in the arts. They worked both sides of the street, so to speak.
What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth. You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that.
There’s very little that’s comparable to seeing the spark in a student’s face when she gets something that she’s been struggling with.
Though sporting a hideous mustache is in no way comparable to the physical pain and mental suffering men with these diseases endure, Movember still forces participants to challenge their manhood on a daily basis. Growing a moustache for men’s cancer isn’t as feel-good an activity as running a marathon for a cure.
The Holocaust is – there’s nothing comparable to it.
Too many people I’ve loved dearly have left this earth. And some I’ve lost are still here breathing the same air. That grief can be comparable if not worse in its consumption.
My brother took me to my first football match when I was five, and I quickly acquired a passion for it: once you’ve walked into a football ground, you know there’s nothing comparable to it.
A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition.
I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.
Humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history, largely to meet rapidly growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber and fuel. This has resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth.
Los Angeles for many years had operated with a police department that was far smaller than other police departments had in areas of comparable or larger size, New York and Chicago being the most obvious examples.
Honestly, it’s such a personal issue, I really don’t think my feud with Edge will ever end. It’s almost comparable to the Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels thing. There is just such legit hatred between the two guys.
The bottom line is that finding orphan planets – small, faint, and located who-knows-where – is not for the faint of heart. The task is comparable to observing a match flame at the distance of Pluto. The WISE satellite, a hi-tech, space-based infrared telescope especially suited for such work, has found only a few.
‘The New Yorker’s’ drama critics have always had a comparable authority because, for the most part, the magazine made it a practice to employ critics who moonlighted in the arts. They worked both sides of the street, so to speak.
I am very conscious that, having worked part time, having had a rather disrupted career, my research record is a good deal patchier than any man’s of a comparable age.
And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.
I don’t think there’s any show comparable to ‘Game of Thrones’ in terms of the way it does the fantasy element to such a high standard: everything is created with so much care and detail. You really feel like you are transported into this entirely other fictional place.
The Holocaust is – there’s nothing comparable to it.
No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.
