A Swedish physicist can not discuss his work with fifty people unless he goes abroad. A Swedish economist can get opinions and instructions in his native language from thousands upon thousands of his fellow citizens.
George Stigler
All the government decisions remain and won't be altered until I get in the role and have had a chance to discuss them with my colleagues.
Jay Weatherill
An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a meeting; and if he should chance to become warm in the discussion, he will say "Gentlemen" to the person with whom he is conversing.
Alexis de Tocqueville
An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
Jean Cocteau
An extraordinary affair. I gave them their orders and they wanted to stay and discuss them.
Duke of Wellington
And if that's what the American people want, then that's what the policy should be, of course. But the idea that anything in the United States is too sensitive to discuss or too dangerous to discuss is really, I think, absurd.
Michael Scheuer
Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture.
Jean Cocteau
At the request of the special counsel, Mr. Rove will not discuss the substance of his testimony.
Robert Luskin
Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash.
Ruth Ann Minner
But I don't really like to discuss Phil anymore.
Ronnie Spector
Discussion in class, which means letting twenty young blockheads and two cocky neurotics discuss something that neither their teacher nor they know.
Vladimir Nabokov
Do you think it's possible to discuss politics without preaching?
Steven Brust
During this time I had the singular good fortune of being able to discuss the problem constantly with Einstein. Some experiments done at Einstein's suggestion yielded no decisively new result.
Walther Bothe
Eating disorders can have serious medical and psychological consequences which, left unchecked, can kill. Parents should address this issue and ask their children to discuss how they feel about themselves.
Tipper Gore
Enforcement is the long overdue step to protect our Nation from external threats in a time of war. And then once we do that, we can effectively discuss a guest worker program.
J. D. Hayworth
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.
Jacques Verges
Families in which nothing is ever discussed usually have a lot not to discuss.
Mason Cooley
For the future, I would suggest avoiding subjects of too vast a scale. It would be useful to make out a list of fundamental questions on the matter to be dealt with, and discuss only those.
Karl Lehmann
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I am prepared to discuss the things that I believe we need to do not just to raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit is the easiest thing. That's one vote away. The hard thing is to show the world we are serious about putting our spending in order so we can show people we'll able to pay our bills down the road.
