If we're saying there are incidents of oppression in this country, systematically or individually in this country, I don't think saying, 'Well, in country X, Y or Z it's 10 times worse' is making things any better. I think that may be true, but why can't we improve?

Chris Long

A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually.

Abba Eban

I perhaps ought to say that individually I never was much interested in the Texas question. I never could see much good to come of annexation, inasmuch as they were already a free republican people on our own model.

Abraham Lincoln

You can't solve climate change by everybody individually buying a more efficient car and throwing out less stuff. You have to make national changes through national policy.

Adam Conover

For me it's more important to look at each constituency individually and find a community I feel I can serve to the best of my abilities, and where I feel I can make a real difference, and further their cause.

Adam Rickitt

I think everybody individually does things a little differently. As a quarterback, every quarterback has their strengths and their weaknesses.

Adam Thielen

Nuno works with each player individually. He has worked with me tactically, on where I have to move and when I have to move.

Adama Traore

People can like him or not like him individually. But I need for them to know that he was a person of substance, and he was worthy, and he was a good son and a good brother and a good participant in the community.

Afeni Shakur

I consider myself a spiritual atheist. I certainly believe there are forces bigger than ourselves, and that we should be searching, individually, for meaning in our lives. But I don't believe there's a supreme being, an intelligence that created everything.

Alan Lightman

To keep everyone invested in your vision, you have to back up a little bit and really analyze who the different stakeholders are and what they individually respond to.

Alan Stern

My approach to directing is to not do very much directing. I'm mainly interested in what the creative group individually and together are thinking.

Alex Garland

Anything that I can do individually to help our team is what I want to do.

Ali Krieger

You can't rise as a class. You have to rise individually. It's what many of the civil rights-era people don't understand.

Alphonso Jackson

While growing up, I have had women around me, be it my mother or aunt, who have individually shown me how to be strong.

Amyra Dastur

If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way.

Anais Nin

Actually, in this instance we do have probably a better tracking system than was the instance in Canada. Because this is a dairy cow, they're all individually tagged.

Ann Veneman

You need to be very critical of yourself. There are a few very good managers who can make players better individually. Most managers think about the team process - and so you have to improve things on your own.

Arjen Robben

I never rehearse scenes with the whole ensemble, because I need to preserve some surprise. Instead, I work with the cast individually on their characters.

Arnaud Desplechin

I'm very private in person. I'm very sensitive and shy with men individually. But when I'm talking, maybe there's this other channel or this other side and other way of working in my mind, and I convert and become carefree.

Bai Ling

Individually the poor are not too tempting to thieves, for obvious reasons. Mug a banker and you might score a wallet containing a month's rent. Mug a janitor and you will be lucky to get away with bus fare to flee the crime scene.

Barbara Ehrenreich

The secession of the Southern States, individually or in the aggregate, was the certain consequence of Mr. Lincoln's election.
