You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

In our modern world of interdependent nations hardly any state can wage war successfully without raising loans and buying war materials of every kind in the markets of other nations.

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress the other side more or less for reaction.

The truth is hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.

Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But it's usually too battered with rules to be heard and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies.

We believe that what we possess we don't ultimately own. God is merely entrusting it to us. And one of the conditions of that trust is that we share what we have with those who have less. So if you don't give to people in need you can hardly call yourself a Jew. Even the most unbelieving Jew knows that.

I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them knowing as I do the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life.

I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13 I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working sports and school I hardly ever had free time.

When I was 40 my doctor advised me that a man in his 40s shouldn't play tennis. I heeded his advice carefully and could hardly wait until I reached 50 to start again.

No doubt it is true that science cannot study God but it hardly follows that God had to keep a safe distance from everything that scientists want to study.

One hardly knows where in the history of science to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great Washington telescope and went on to the discovery of the satellites of Mars.

If Margaret Thatcher took climate change seriously and believed that we should take action to reduce global greenhouse emissions then taking action and supporting and accepting the science can hardly be the mark of incipient Bolshevism.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

When I first came to Nashville people hardly gave country music any respect. We lived in old cars and dirty hotels and we ate when we could.

We are so accustomed to think of religion as a thing between individual men and God that we can hardly enter into the idea of a religion in which a whole nation in its national organisation appears as the religious unit.

How do you build a relationship when you've hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don't see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?

I hardly remember how I started to write poetry. It's hard to imagine what I thought poetry could do.

I'm conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There's hardly a day that goes past on which I don't write poetry.

I came here as a practical man to talk not simply on the question of peace and war but to treat another question which is of hardly less importance - the enormous and burdensome standing armaments which it is the practice of modern Governments to sustain in time of peace.

We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.

A real gentleman even if he loses everything he owns must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.

You know my main reaction to this money thing is that it's humorous all the attention to it because it's hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that's happened to me.

Such is the nature of men that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

My diminished girth in tailor phraseology was hardly conceivable even by my own friends or my respected medical adviser until I put on my former clothing over what I now wear which is a thoroughly convincing proof of the remarkable change.
