It's OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don't want them to catch up because we're slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.

Bill Gates

You're only as old as you feel, and I feel pretty young. I've got one gear, and till it gets reversed, I'm going all out.

A.J. Styles

We want to swing the ball as much as we can. We try and get it to reverse, putting more sweat on one side and things like that. But we don't cheat.

AB de Villiers

Wrong is wrong. Guys try to find a way to get the ball to reverse, but you have to stay in the laws.

AB de Villiers

The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.

Abraham Lincoln

What you would call a 'lead,' I've always considered a supporting part, and what people would call 'supporting parts,' I've considered leads. In a way, I look at it in reverse, because supporting parts - when they're done correctly - are the ones that are progenitors for storylines, to move forward.

Adrian Pasdar

Just because Pluto or comets aren't as big as Jupiter doesn't mean they are not scientifically important - indeed, just the reverse is often true. Sometimes, great things come in small packages.

Alan Stern

The way I was parented did affect my parenting - probably in the reverse. My dad was pretty strict, and the next generation probably wants to be less strict.

Alan Thicke

My kids are all pretty big and tough and strong, and I don't worry about them being bullied - the reverse, be kind to people and don't ever be a bully yourself, and I think they've followed that.

Alan Thicke

That is one of the great things about Test cricket, the ball. Sometimes it swings conventionally, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it reverses.

Alastair Cook

I was thinking about vampires and, specifically, about what makes vampires a romantic trope: about what people like about not just vampires but supernaturally long-lived creatures in general, which is a thing that shows up in probably fifty to sixty percent of paranormal romances... And then, for some reason, I decided to reverse it.

Alaya Dawn Johnson

I think Rush have always had this reputation, particularly to non-fans, of being an ultra-serious and cerebral group when, in fact, the reverse is true. We don't take ourselves seriously at all. Sure, we take our music seriously, but that's altogether different.

Alex Lifeson

Journal paywalls are an example of something that works in the reverse direction, making communication less open and efficient.

Alexandra Elbakyan

It's not everybody that can handle firing Denzel Washington or coming to blows and saying, 'This is what's happening because I said so.' Usually, it's the reverse.

Amanda Warren

In political science, public support doesn't have a reverse gear. It always goes forward.

Amit Shah

Reverse swing is a great asset if it happens.

Andrew Flintoff

Once you have something so deeply infused in your culture and your brand, it would be very difficult to reverse that inertia if you wanted to.

Andrew Mason

We have to learn to be allies to each other. We are in a deficit of financial and social capital, and TransTech aims to help trans people reverse that.

Angelica Ross

Many of the engineers I interviewed worked on reverse-engineering technology. It's a hallmark of Area 51.

Annie Jacobsen

Design, refine and repeat, and keep learning all the way along. It sounds bland and pedestrian, but in fact, it's the reverse.

Anouska Hempel

People think that because a novel's invented, it isn't true. Exactly the reverse is the case. Biography and memoirs can never be wholly true, since they cannot include every conceivable circumstance of what happened. The novel can do that.
