The literary trappings and moralizing of science fiction I find insufficiently compelling.
A. B. Yehoshua
Any sufficiently badly-written science is indistinguishable from magic.
Aaron Allston
I will confess that in general decisiveness worries me; it is often an excuse for being impatient with the details or insufficiently sensitive to other people's concerns.
Abhijit Banerjee
Illinois surpasses every other spot of equal extent upon the face of the globe in fertility of soil and in the proportionable amount of the same which is sufficiently level for actual cultivation.
Abraham Lincoln
I do believe that mentorship is something I did not get in school, and I don't think it exists in school in a sufficient way.
Adam Neumann
Adequacy is sufficient.
Adam Osborne
You don't need any indictment in order to arrest someone; probable cause is sufficient to arrest civilians, so it must be enough to arrest police.
Al Sharpton
On television and in the movies, crimes are always solved. Nothing is left uncertain. By the end, the viewer knows whodunit. In real life, on the other hand, many murders remain unsolved, and even some that are 'solved' to the satisfaction of the police and prosecutors lack sufficient evidence to result in a conviction.
Alan Dershowitz
I feel very confident that that information should be sufficient for the members of the Senate to make an informed decision about John Roberts' qualifications.
Alberto Gonzales
Going to college is neither necessary nor sufficient to be well-educated.
Alex Tabarrok
For me just the fact to be alive is sufficient motivation to want to improve my life quality.
Alex Zanardi

Alexa Von Tobel
Rounding to the nearest cent is sufficiently accurate for practical purposes.
Alexander John Ellis
We are not a gigantic state, we do not have nuclear weapons, but our army is sufficiently capable to respond to any threat... Therefore, we will protect our patch of land, our statehood, and our independence.
Alexander Lukashenko
A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.
Alexander the Great
One of the things I noticed while I lived in New York City was how different the kids and teens were that grew up there versus, you know, my suburban upbringing. They have this innate resilience and toughness to them, and they're incredibly self-sufficient, usually from a pretty young age.
Alexandra Bracken
Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.
Alfred Adler
Even when they are saturated in the sense of the older theory of valence, the elementary atoms still possess sufficient chemical affinity to bind other seemingly also saturated atoms and groups of atoms, under generation of clearly defined atomic bonds.
Alfred Werner
A general presumption that Icings will govern well, is not a sufficient security to the People... those who subjected themselves to the will of a man were governed by a beast.
Algernon Sidney
We must be practical. Talking about trade and other nice things are more soothing to the ear than security. But it won't be until we have sufficient security against internal, regional, and continental threats that we can be sure of real development.
Ali Bongo Ondimba
We live in a world of increasing dependence on electronic records and retrieval, unprecedented security and preservation concerns, and insufficient attention to civic and democratic education.
A great amount has been talked and written about what constitutes a sufficient balance and what really is meant by the concepts of 'balance' and 'deterrence'.
Market design is about understanding the details of markets in sufficient detail so that we can help fix them when they are broken.
In spite of this fact, the Western powers have never given sufficient importance to the Muslim world. They have always been inclined to treat it as a big backward and lethargic child.
There was a break in the proceedings when Peter Greste was deported, and that was considered sufficient then to allow the executive to intervene.
Understanding money is part of being independent. You can't be self-sufficient if you're relying on someone else.
Anoint, v.: To grease a king or other great functionary already sufficiently slippery.
To be witty is not enough. One must possess sufficient wit to avoid having too much of it.
As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.
Despite the characterization of some that teaching is an easy job, with short hours and summers off, the fact is that successful, dedicated teachers in the U.S. work long hours for little pay and, in many cases, insufficient support from their leadership.
If we are able to allow people to earn a decent rate of return, with sufficient scale, we can all do well by doing good.
When you become sufficiently expert in the state of the art, you stop picking ideas at random. You are thoughtful in how to select ideas and how to combine ideas. You are thoughtful about when you should be generating many ideas versus pruning down ideas.
In many regions, war and terror prevail. States disintegrate. For many years, we have read about this. We have heard about it. We have seen it on TV. But we had not yet sufficiently understood that what happens in Aleppo and Mosul can affect Essen or Stuttgart. We have to face that now.
I want my girls to be strong and self-sufficient.
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
We are not yet at the point where our size, our being the drama industry, is sufficient to support full time professional crews, and that is very very important.
Decay is quiet but ghastly, explosion is dramatic and dreadful. There's not much to choose between the two of them in reality, and most of our lives have sufficient of both.
I joined the army because I was a very self-sufficient young man. I always wanted to stand on my own two feet.
I wanted a challenge, wanted to be self-sufficient, so I thought, 'Go and join the army,' at a young age, and I just happened to be good at what I done and went up the ladder and went up to the top.
It has become a certainty now that if you will only advertise sufficiently you may make a fortune by selling anything.
They who do not understand that a man may be brought to hope that which of all things is the most grievous to him, have not observed with sufficient closeness the perversity of the human mind.
I have often endeavoured to view the circulation of the blood in terrestrial animals, but without success, by reason that no parts of their bodies were sufficiently transparent.
Travelling doesn't stress me, since adequate 10-hour sleep post-travel is sufficient for me.
He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
The true and the approximately true are apprehended by the same faculty; it may also be noted that men have a sufficient natural instinct for what is true, and usually do arrive at the truth. Hence the man who makes a good guess at truth is likely to make a good guess at probabilities.
Heart disease continues to be the number one killer; cancer, the number 2 killer, not far behind. The tragic aspect of these deadly diseases is that they could all be cured, I do believe, if we had sufficient funding.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Many people say that we have sufficient laws in our country, just that they are not implemented properly. I completely disagree with them. I have studied many of the laws very carefully. We are still being governed by the same colonial laws which existed in British times. They have not been changed. Many of these laws need to be changed.
Everyone should have enough to be able to eat and sustain their families. I'm not saying everyone should become extravagantly rich but everyone should have sufficient food and good education.
