If there is one realm in which it is essential to be sublime, it is in wickedness. You spit on a petty thief, but you can't deny a kind of respect for the great criminal.
‐‐ Denis Diderot
If there is one set of laws, one Constitution for every citizen, its protections hopefully applied equally to all, then why do the results seem to differ so radically? What do you call that? Look around - you're living in it.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
If there is one thing about my family that I do identify with, it is that everyone is extremely hardworking. Also, the people whom I grew up with all did things they really loved. And I think that's an important lesson.
‐‐ Rooney Mara

‐‐ Andrea Seigel
If there is one thing I am, it's always right.
‐‐ Ted Nugent
If there is one thing I fear less than everything else, it is, I believe, persecution for my opinions. There are a good many points about which I may be diffident, but when it comes to questions of Truth and intellectual independence, there is no holding me - I can envisage no finer end than to sacrifice oneself for a conviction.
‐‐ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
If there is one thing I have learned on this incredible journey we call life, it is this: the sign of a truly successful individual is humility.

If there is one thing that all players have in common it is that winning, competitive gene; the ability to overcome obstacles and fight for what you want from your career.
‐‐ Andres Iniesta
If there is one thing that I take pride in, it is the fact that I never, ever make a charge without offering a substantial amount of support for it. You may ultimately end up not agreeing with me, but you will have to concede that I offered much evidence in support of my position, something that people frequently do not do.
‐‐ Vincent Bugliosi
If there is one thing that the women and men of the late 20th century who have an awareness and enjoyment of history can be sure of, it is that Islam was not sent from Heaven to foster egotism and mediocrity.

If there is 'right to buy' for council tenants and housing association properties, then why shouldn't that apply to all tenants? Some landlords are decent, very caring people, but some of them are truly appalling.

If there is some art involved, I'd like it to be that it came through the cracks of daily work.
‐‐ Martin Mull
If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.
‐‐ Niecy Nash
If there is something I am arguing, it is a critique of science. Science has consistently denied the existence of consciousness other than human. Only in the last 20 years do we have acknowledgement of animal feeling or culture or experience.
‐‐ Barbara Ehrenreich
If there is something I like, I buy it and then find somewhere for it. I buy first then I think.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin

‐‐ Quentin Tarantino
If there is something occurring that is so bad that it could be considered a crime against humanity, it has to be transmitted with anguish, with pain, and create an impact in people - upset them, shake them up, wake them out of their everyday routine.
‐‐ James Nachtwey
If there is something that I respect about the Arabs, it's the fact that they never change their position.
‐‐ Ariel Sharon
If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
If there is something to worry about, my mind has a tendency to worry about it. That can cut two ways. It can really keep you on the ball, but if you worry about every little thing, it's not a good use of time and energy.
‐‐ Harvey Pekar
If there is such a thing as 'a Cukor style,' I guess it arises out of two principal factors: my own personalized perception of the world and my ability to deal professionally with actors. As far as perception is concerned, I always try to imagine settings through the best possible eyes.
‐‐ George Cukor
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
‐‐ Michel de Montaigne
If there is such a thing as a workaholic, I'm it, and that's what passes for leisure.

If there is such a thing as freedom, then there is no fate.
‐‐ Imre Kertesz

If there is time to reflect, slowing down is likely to be a good idea.
‐‐ Daniel Kahneman
If there is to be any hope of prosperity for this country it is by reversing that policy which made us simply the kitchen garden for supplying the British with cheap food.

If there is wasteful spending, I will not support it.
‐‐ Tom Graves
If there isn't a deep core reason for a film existing, what is the point? For me to be known as a filmmaker that makes films that have a point, I'm stoked.
‐‐ Neill Blomkamp
If there isn't at least the threat of violence in art, it tends to be kind of tiresome.
‐‐ Teller
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

If there really is a god, then he really looks after me.
‐‐ Jackie Chan
If there really is no new way to be found, we are not afraid to stick with the old one that we found previously. So, I do not make every building different.
‐‐ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
If there's a 13- or 14-year old kid who is yearning for something beyond the social forces in his own world, in his own neighborhood, the library is the only place where he can go to find that. It was exciting and thrilling to me all the time I worked in the library. It's such a force for social good and it can do so much.
‐‐ Gary Ross
If there's a best, I want to fight them.

‐‐ Toni Morrison
If there's a British film in the marketplace that is successful on a worldwide basis - whether it's 'A Room with a View,' 'Four Weddings' or 'The Full Monty' - money follows, and everyone tries to emulate that success.
‐‐ Eric Fellner
If there's a camera on me or off me, it's roughly the same, just a lot less energy.
