My views of the missionary object are, indeed, different from what they were when I was first set on fire by Buchanan's 'Star in the East' six years ago. But it does not always happen that a closer acquaintance with an object diminishes our attachment and preference.

Adoniram Judson

I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher.

A. N. Wilson

I started off playing rugby league as well as union. I switched between fly-half and wing, but I preferred to play fly-half. I liked to be at the heart of everything. I liked to be involved.

Aaron Ramsey

I much prefer playing in the centre of the park; that's where I feel comfortable.

Aaron Ramsey

I think there are two ways to depict a family. One is what it's really like, and one is what the audience would like it to be. Between you and me, I think the second one is what I would prefer.

Aaron Spelling

I prefer to be out of the spotlight, to be honest. I've always been that kind of personality.

AB de Villiers

I prefer the countryside to cities. This is also true of my films: I have made more films in rural societies, and villages, than in towns.

Abbas Kiarostami

Love has no nationality for me. I have a preference for dark skin but that's just superficial.

Abhay Deol

I prefer active vacations. I really like the adventure aspect of it, and I also like a trip with intentions, where something will be gained on the other side of it. But I also like the option to just be there.

Abigail Spencer

There are some times I'm really busy and other times I'm not, but I prefer to be really busy because I generally don't know what to do with myself when I'm not wrestling or on the road.

Adam Cole

I loved 'Beakman's World' growing up. As much as I loved 'Bill Nye,' I always preferred 'Beakman's World' because I thought it was funnier.

Adam Conover

Productive givers focus on acting in the long-term best interests of others, even if it's not pleasant. They have the courage to give the critical feedback we prefer not to hear, but truly need to hear. They offer tough love, knowing that we might like them less, but we'll come to trust and respect them more.

Adam Grant

I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom.

Adam Jones

I do know that you have to choose between the logic of reconciliation and the logic of justice. Pure justice leads to new civil war. I prefer the negotiable revolution.

Adam Michnik

I prefer musicals, because I am the best dancer who ever lived. The best plies, the best sashays, and by far the best-smelling Capezios.

Adam Sandler

I generally prefer to come in to the studio with a fully written song and then work on the arrangement with the band. Sometimes even the arrangements are pretty much already worked out in my head, but other times we experiment.

Adam Schlesinger

I prefer Los Angeles just because I live there and my family's there. But I think New York is just kind of the center of the world.

Adam Scott

There was a misunderstanding with Barca. Something happened that I didn't like, but I prefer to keep it for myself.

Adama Traore

I prefer working, period. I think that I like doing film more just because when you get a script, you have the story from start to finish, so you can really find the character's arc, and when you walk away from it, you know you're sort of powerless to what happens.

Addison Timlin

My favourite chant is 'you're just a fat Eddie Murphy.' When I heard that I could not stop laughing. I would prefer a 'muscular Eddie Murphy.'

Adebayo Akinfenwa

More than anything I prefer the ball on the floor. I think I play my best football on the floor. There is a delicacy to this big giant.
