If we abandon marriage, we abandon the family.
‐‐ Michael Enzi
If we abandon our values by completely shutting our doors to those who seek the freedom we enjoy or mistreating our neighbors who made it here after enduring unimaginable hardships, the terrorists win.
‐‐ Bill Haslam
If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
If we accept the notion that terrorists will have immunity because as they fire on civilians they hide behind civilians, then this tactic will be legitimized and the terrorists will have their greatest victory.
‐‐ Benjamin Netanyahu
If we accept the rule of those who think they are the bosses and lords of Mexico, nothing will change for the people on the bottom.
‐‐ Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador
If we admit a thing so extraordinary as the creation of this world, it should seem that we admit something strange, and odd, and new to human apprehension, beyond any other miracle whatsoever.
‐‐ George Berkeley
If we aim to act in harmony with the laws of Good, we rise above all other laws and become a law unto ourselves; co-workers with God and helpers in nature. Ours is the privilege, ours the loss, if we fail to live up to our highest possibilities.
‐‐ Max Heindel
If we all collectively generate good energy, there will be a good outcome.
‐‐ Shari Arison
If we all had a little bit of Michael Jackson in us, I think it would make the world a better place.
‐‐ Tracy Morgan
If we all helped one person, wouldn't the world be an unbelievable place?
‐‐ Hoda Kotb
If we all knew we were going to live to be 150 years old, we'd all approach our lives very differently.
‐‐ Eric Bogosian
If we all lived according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, life would be much simpler.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
If we all looked out for each other a little bit more, I think we wouldn't have a lot of the crisis that we have in today's society.
‐‐ Criss Angel
If we all make a concerted effort and try to improve the life of someone else, then this world would be a better place to live in.
‐‐ Alonzo Mourning
If we all say the same thing, then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it, I become singled out, even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society, people are giving up on protecting these values.
‐‐ Ai Weiwei
If we all take the time to listen and love each other, this world would be a better place.
‐‐ Mike Love
If we all think only of our own interests, we are headed for collective disaster - just look at what we are doing to our planet's climate.
‐‐ Peter Singer
If we all tried to make other people's paths easy, our own feet would have a smooth even place to walk on.
‐‐ Myrtle Reed
If we all understood we can learn from both older and younger people, then we'd have a better world.
‐‐ Adora Svitak
If we all went to Google right now, or went to Yelp right now, we'd all get the same results, and that seems really, really broken to me. Foursquare should understand the neighborhoods I've spent a lot of time in, and the restaurants that I went to once but never went back to.
‐‐ Dennis Crowley
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.
‐‐ Orville Wright
If we allow more development, it will bring housing affordability.
‐‐ Harry Triguboff
If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other, then somehow the original agenda has been lost.
‐‐ Jaron Lanier
If we allow public funds to be used to support our relatively benign, morally grounded schools, we will have to allow those public funds to be used for any type of private school.
‐‐ Jonathan Kozol
If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.
‐‐ Roland Allen
If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time.
‐‐ Octavio Paz
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.
‐‐ Andrew Lo
If we are able to get inside the music and inhabit it convincingly enough, it will cause everyone to find each other in this new psychological space. And that's most exciting.
‐‐ Michael Tilson Thomas
If we are addressing the issue of weapons of mass destruction, we need to send a uniform, consistent message that there is zero tolerance to any country who is developing weapons of mass destruction, North Korea included.
‐‐ Mohamed ElBaradei
If we are all endowed by our creator with the right to pursue happiness, that has to apply to the poorest neighborhoods in the poorest counties, and I am prepared to find something that works, that breaks us out of the cycles we have now to find a way for poor children to work and earn honest money.
‐‐ Newt Gingrich
If we are all in agreement on the decision - then I propose we postpone further discussion of this matter until our next meeting to give ourselves time to develop disagreement and perhaps gain some understanding of what the decision is all about.
‐‐ Alfred P. Sloan
If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
‐‐ Henry Miller
If we are born under a lucky star, it shows that we have earned the good fortune thereby Indicated, by forethought, kindness, and our other virtues expressed in previous lives, for we cannot have friends unless we are friendly ourselves.
‐‐ Max Heindel
If we are building something that users need, and there is a lot of value we are driving, I think how search manifests in iOS will work out just fine.
‐‐ Sundar Pichai
If we are busy in a hundred good things - even great things, gospel things, glorious things - but don't sit at the feet of Jesus, we are busy in the wrong ways.
‐‐ Kevin DeYoung
If we are completely honest with ourselves, everyone has a dark side to their personalities.
‐‐ Isabella Rossellini
If we are concerned about the exploitation of human workers in countries with low standards of worker protection, we should also be concerned about the treatment of even more defenceless non-human animals.
‐‐ Peter Singer
If we are ever in doubt about what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done.
‐‐ John Lubbock
If we are ever to cross the 100-nano barrier in electronics, we need to develop nano structures that let electrons move through, as they do through wires and semiconductors. And these structures must survive in the real world of air, water, boiling temperatures.
‐‐ Richard Smalley
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.
‐‐ Ingrid Newkirk
If we are faithful to God in little things, we shall gain experience and strength that will be helpful to us in the more serious trials of life.
‐‐ Hudson Taylor
If we are genuinely committed to promoting a culture of peace, as individuals we must look to our values and ensure that we all exhibit a peace loving life to our nation's children.
‐‐ Silvia Cartwright
If we are going to approach the euro area as a zone with a harsh line in the middle between AAA and non-AAA, between the north and the south, no way are we going to move forward.
‐‐ Jeroen Dijsselbloem
If we are going to be able to create a new economic vision, companies will need to rethink every aspect of their operations; their bottom lines, ownership structures, demands on financial returns, how they raise capital. For example, an ethical company would say it should only take a fair share of the planet's resources and campaign on this.
‐‐ Tim Jackson
If we are going to be serious about enforcing the law, we have to have a background record check system to make sure that people don't get weapons who shouldn't.
‐‐ Tim Kaine
If we are going to change our diets, we first have to relearn the art of eating, which is a question of psychology as much as nutrition. We have to find a way to want to eat what's good for us.
‐‐ Bee Wilson
If we are going to compete in this world we're in today, there is no possible way we can do it with lowering expectations and dumbing down everything. Children are going to suffer, and families' hearts are going to be broken that their kids won't be able to get a job in the 21st Century.
‐‐ Jeb Bush
If we are going to conduct a population-centric strategy in Afghanistan, and we are perceived as backing thugs, then we are just undermining ourselves.
‐‐ Michael T. Flynn
If we are going to do big things in our country, we're going to have to think about better ways working across our differences.
‐‐ Cory Booker
