If we're going to achieve compassion in the machines and also feel safe with the machines, to raise machines with human-like values, we need to make them human-like by simulating, or perhaps eventually imitating, human beings in high accuracy from top to bottom.

If we're going to ask our kids at age 18 to go off to war and die for their country, I don't see any problem with asking them at age 16 to think about what that might mean.

If we're going to be able to provide access to quality, affordable health care to every American - we need to have the trained health care professionals inside hospitals to provide that care.
‐‐ Kirsten Gillibrand
If we're going to be considered horror filmmakers, we have to prove it not only to ourselves but to the audience that we can actually make something scary.
‐‐ Adam Wingard
If we're going to be getting treated like that, why can't we treat the clubs like that? I just want to see the game and the players looked after the way they should be because the crowds don't turn up to watch David Gallop play... they turn up to watch the players play.

If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.
‐‐ Joel Osteen
If we're going to build hardware, the thing we want to do is build reading goggles, so you can do hands-free reading.
‐‐ Trip Adler
If we're going to change leadership, we need to do it in a very systematic and organized way.
‐‐ John Fleming
If we're going to change the laws, let's change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals, and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens.
‐‐ John Dingell
If we're going to create the best business climate to create higher paying jobs and retain our young people, we're going to have to build a workforce prepared for the opportunities of the future.
‐‐ John Hoeven
If we're going to do trade agreements, as we should, we need trade agreements with rules that will lift up all boats, rather than continuing to pull down U.S. food safety standards, U.S. worker wages, environment, all that these job losses and all that this has done to pull down our standards.
‐‐ Sherrod Brown
If we're going to get this country out of its current energy situation, we can't just conserve our way out; we can't just drill our way out; we can't bomb our way out. We're going to do it the old-fashioned American way, we're going to invent our way out, working together.
‐‐ Donald Sadoway
If we're going to go farther from Earth, to Mars or somewhere else someday, we have to have a good understanding of the psychological impact on people. And not only psychologically, but how it affects their cognition. We're doing a lot of research on my cognitive abilities.
‐‐ Scott Kelly
If we're going to have an unconventional budget, we probably need an unconventional process to get there.
‐‐ Anthony Foxx

If we're going to have the view that we're going to protect everyone in this society equally, we have to mean it.
‐‐ Loretta Lynch
If we're going to make a real dent in the bullying issue, we're going to have to address the bullies themselves: find ways to help empower them that don't include allowing them to be predators or to simply be punished.
‐‐ Chris Crutcher
If we're going to pass international trade agreements, as we should, they should have similar kind of rules, not as high a wage as obviously as a steelworker in the U.S. or in Lorain, Ohio, but certainly rules on the environment and worker safety. You go to Mexico, you don't see those kinds of worker protections or environmental safeguards.
‐‐ Sherrod Brown
If we're going to run for points we need to run in the top-five every week.
‐‐ Dale Earnhardt
If we're going to spend a lot of money to deal with the problem of 200 million guns in the country owned by 65 million gun owners, we ought to have a system which will work and catch criminals.
‐‐ John Dingell
If we're going to spend more money, it should go to the soldiers, Marines, and airmen to increase their salaries.
‐‐ David Hunt
If we're going to talk about economic fairness, or about fairness, one of the most pressing economic issues facing families, seniors, and job creators in Missouri and across America is the strain of skyrocketing gas prices.
‐‐ Roy Blunt
If we're going to talk about our businesses, we're going to have to talk about them within the constraints of the disclosure rules, without giving guidance, because we're not going to give guidance, because we don't believe that it is a sensible game to play.
‐‐ Barry Diller
If we're going to truly solve the problems of the world, we've got to share our information whenever we can and strategically include one another in or efforts.
‐‐ Cherie Blair
If we're going to win in 2016, we need a consistent conservative: someone who has been a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a national security conservative.
‐‐ Ted Cruz
If we're going to win the pennant, we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are.
‐‐ Casey Stengel
If we're going to win this battle over fiscal responsibility, we need more of the people who vote right and fewer of those whose seniority is their only selling point.
‐‐ Jason Chaffetz
If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.
‐‐ Saul Williams
If we're gonna win, we have to play up to and beyond our potential. We're capable of doing that.
‐‐ Don Nelson
If we're honest, we all have some measure of wrong believing in our lives. If you don't believe this, all you need to do is ask yourself, 'Have I often felt anxious, worried, or fearful that the worst would happen to me and my loved ones?'
‐‐ Joseph Prince
If we're in a bubble, it's the weirdest bubble I've ever seen, where everybody hates everything.
‐‐ Marc Andreessen
If we're interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
‐‐ Guy Finley
If we're not compelled to gain a deeper understanding of good and evil, how can we make the world a better place? How can we find ourselves at the end of our lives and know that our lives were significant? Those things would be impossibilities.
‐‐ Scott Derrickson
If we're not creating an educated and skilled workforce, there is just no conceivable way that were going to be economically competitive.
‐‐ Mitch Kapor
If we're not going to tax the rich anymore, we're going to create class warfare.

If we're not on them, they go back to their old ways.

If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?
‐‐ Tom Snyder
If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new' Constitution, we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode, you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless.
‐‐ Antonin Scalia
If we're reading a first-person account, we know that each and every one of us, myself included, have a great desire to be seen in a certain way, or to be perceived in a certain way. It's unavoidable.
‐‐ Errol Morris
If we're really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what's causing us to do what we do.
‐‐ Joyce Meyer
If we're really writing, we are exploring the unnamed emotional facets of the human heart. Not all emotions, not all states of mind have been named. Nor are all the names we have been given always accurate.
‐‐ Ron Carlson
If we're so cruel to minorities, why do they keep coming here? Why aren't they sneaking across the Mexican border to make their way to the Taliban?
‐‐ Ann Coulter
If we're stuck with having expectations, there's a very good reason to embrace positive ones: It's that we often create what we anticipate.
‐‐ Martha Beck
If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.
‐‐ Aaron Eckhart
If we're talking about someone creating something new, those rights are fairly well defined (in the United States, at least) under existing copyright law. But then there's often discussion about the rights of people who produce works under work-for-hire arrangements, which can be far more subtle and nuanced.
‐‐ Chris Roberson
If we're talking about transportation, the best thing a city can do is densify as quickly as it can. That needs to be said every time this issue comes up, because it's the only universal strategy that works.
‐‐ Alex Steffen
If we're talking fantasy, I would love to host a late night talk show... More Fallon than Leno. Those guys always seem like they're having way too much fun at their 'jobs.'
