Defense Quotes
-
I am never proud to participate in violence, yet I know that each of us must care enough for ourselves that we can be ready and able to come to our own defense when and wherever needed.
Maya Angelou
-
I was born very, very lazy and I don't always practice very long. but I must say, in my defense, that it is not so good, in a musical way, to overpractice. When you do, the music seems to come out of your pocket. If you play with a feeling of 'Oh, I know this,' you play without that little drop of fresh blood that is necessary – and the audience feels it.
Arthur Rubinstein
-
We obviously need his defense at some level. It's good to have him back in the offense, but we weren't smooth with him in there offensively, though.
Phil Jackson
-
Yes, we didn't do this -- we didn't produce these videotapes on time. My letter to Sen. Thompson made clear we should have found them. But the one thing that is absolutely clear is that the only pattern here is not one of incompetence -- and we don't make an incompetence defense -- the pattern here is one of an ongoing intensive day-to-day effort to try to meet the committee's needs and that is the only pattern a fair reader can see.
Charles Ruff
-
I think we need missile defense. But I want to make sure it works, that it's cost effective, that the technologies are operable, that it's our best possible strategy, and that hasn't been shown.
Barack Obama
-
We're not playing defense, ... We're not defending or rebounding the ball. That's taking away a lot of baskets because we can't run and we can't stop anybody.
Allen Iverson
-
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.
Oswald Chambers
-
They did some things early on in there that threw us some curve balls. On defense, they did a real good coaching job on that part. We had to kind of struggle to get things going again, but we did control the ball, which is a big deal.
Joe Gibbs
-
It did help. I didn't have to think about defense. I felt good today. I felt strong in my last at-bat.
Gary Sheffield
-
There's blame to go around but in the end, the federal government is our last defense and it's the failure of the federal government that has people in this country worried.
Eleanor Clift
-
They had the upper hand for a long time out there. We had a tough time getting anything done against their defense. Any time you get into the playoffs it's a huge deal. I feel great for these guys because so many of them haven't experienced it before.
Joe Gibbs
-
By deriving it's just powers from the governed, government becomes primarily a mechanism for defense against bodily harm, theft, and involuntary servitude. It cannot claim the power to redistribute money or property nor to force reluctant citizens to perform acts of charity against their will. Government is created by the people. No individual possesses the power to take another's wealth or to force others to do good, so no government has the the right to do such things either. The creature cannot exceed the creator.
Ezra Taft Benson
