Question Quotes

I always make it a rule to let the other fellow fire first. If a man wants to fight, I argue the question with him and try to show him how foolish it would be.

I know that he is pretty certain in his hurry, to miss. I never do.

That’s the secret to performance: conviction. The right note played tentatively still misses its mark, but play boldly and no one will question you.

Whenever I ask Siri for directions or a recommendation, I also ask her a trick question. Her answers are usually wacky. She scolds me for cursing, which I love, but she has no problem with ethics.

Is Guinea prepared? And that's the question because of course these three countries had very, very weak health institutions.
