Having a tax code that rewards companies that are shipping jobs overseas instead of companies that are investing here in the United States, that will not make us more competitive.
We need a revolution instead of a technology evolution.
Why should we not. . . instead of the paltry offerings we make, do something that will prove that we are really in earnest in claiming to be followers of him who, though he was rich, for our sake became poor?
Try to master technology instead of it mastering you.
There is a subset of Democrats who tend to mis-fill out ballots. The way you mark the ballot is like an S. A. T. - you fill in the circle. And the subset of people who tend to, like, put a check there instead, or an X, or fill it out wrong, tend to be people who didn't take S. A. T. s, or first-time voters, or people with English as a second language.
Instead of gutting consumer protection, we should be expanding it.
Congress should be forward thinking in the policies we set, instead of waiting until catastrophe looms.
In London there was no home cooking worthy of the name. When you were in funds you ate out. But only the people whose faces appeared in such publications as Town and Queen could afford to eat in restaurants serving food which would leave them looking and feeling better instead of worse.
The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face, instead of chopping logic in a university classroom.
The only lie I really remember from my adolescence was when I was in sixth grade and I was dropped off with a couple of friends at the movie theater to go see a movie, I can't remember which one it was, and we went to go see this movie instead that was rated R. That was sort of a defining moment, that was probably the first time I had ever lied to my parents about something.
Religion is not an end in itself. One's union with God is the ultimate goal. There are so many religions because immature people tend to emphasize trivial differences instead of important likenesses. Differences between faiths lie in creeds and rituals rather than in religious principles.
Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana.
Instead of confronting its real and difficult problems and grappling honestly with a dark past, Hungary embraced a reactionary government and a self-pitying image of itself as the victimized nation, and went looking for scapegoats in the Roma, Jews, and, most recently, Syrian migrants.
Printing up extra money - with no backing - used to be the sort of thing only counterfeiters did. Now it is done by the central bankers and Treasury Secretaries themselves. They don't apologize for it. They don't hang their heads and contemplate blowing their brains out. Instead, they're proud of it. . . announcing that they 'saved civilization,' or some such claptrap.
When I took the leap, I had faith I would find a net; Instead I learned I could fly.
By fashion and built-in obsolescence the economies of machine production, instead of producing leisure and durable wealth, are duly cancelled out by the mandatory consumption on an even larger scale.
Think about what kind of person you are and shape your habits, and your happiness, to show what's true about you instead of thinking that you can just import the right answer from the outside.
She dumped me for the worst reason of all. For absolutely no reason at all. . . I mean, if she fell in love with someone else, or I did something wrong, or I let her down in some unforgivable way. . . That, I'd understand, right? But instead, she said. . . it wasn't anything. Not a single thing. It was just me. I was nice. I was kind. We just. . . she didn't see the connection anymore. I think she thought I was boring. And the cruelest part is, when someone says something mean about you, you know when they're right.
The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
We were sent to Vietnam to kill Communism. But we found instead that we were killing women and children.
