If we steal thoughts from the moderns, it will be cried down as plagiarism; if from the ancients, it will be cried up as erudition.
‐‐ Charles Caleb Colton
If we stick together as an American people we can bring down the war criminals that are running our country right now.

If we still advise we shall never do.
‐‐ Elizabeth I
If we stop exploring space, we're going to lose the same part of us that found vaccines and penicillin, the part that searches for cures to cancer and AIDS.
‐‐ Corbin Bernsen
If we strike a line to the N.W. from Sydney to Wellington Valley, we shall find that little change takes place in the geological features of the country.
‐‐ Charles Sturt
If we strive to strengthen our body now; to overcome our faults; to cultivate new virtues; the Sun of our next life will rise under much more auspicious conditions than those under which we now live, and thus we may truly rule our stars and master our fate.
‐‐ Max Heindel
If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on.
‐‐ Sebastian Thrun
If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.
‐‐ Rudy Rucker
If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else.
‐‐ Reinhold Niebuhr
If we take a step back and look at what Snapchat is, it all starts with the camera.
‐‐ Evan Spiegel
If we take as given that critical infrastructures are vulnerable to a cyber terrorist attack, then the question becomes whether there are actors with the capability and motivation to carry out such an operation.
‐‐ Dorothy Denning
If we take care of the business and keep our eye on the goal line, the stock price will take care of itself.
‐‐ James Sinegal
If we take care of the customers and associates and grow the business, Wall Street will be pleased.
‐‐ Lee Scott
If we take into account the existence of our planet, we have to recognise that we are guests that spend a short and very determined period in this world, and all we leave behind is nuclear waste.
‐‐ Gunter Grass
If we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go.
‐‐ John Burroughs
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
‐‐ George S. Patton
If we take the route of the permanent handout, the American character will itself be impoverished.
‐‐ Richard M. Nixon
If we talk about literacy, we have to talk about how to enhance our children's mastery over the tools needed to live intelligent, creative, and involved lives.
‐‐ Danny Glover
If we talk about the environment, for example, we have to talk about environmental racism - about the fact that kids in South Central Los Angeles have a third of the lung capacity of kids in Santa Monica.
‐‐ Danny Glover
If we talk about the glass being half empty or half full, I want to know what does the glass look like from underneath the table?
‐‐ Brad Thor
If we think about the obvious long enough, it dissolves.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
If we think about what mystery entails as a genre, certainly a big part of it is a resolution.
‐‐ Matthew Pearl
If we think of our chromosomes - they carry our genetic material - as being like shoelaces, I work on the plastic tips at the end that protect them.
‐‐ Elizabeth Blackburn
If we think of the immune system as a machine, then we are far from even knowing all of its parts.
‐‐ Bruce Beutler
If we think of what's up ahead, with climate change and wars over water, it's very frightening.
‐‐ Carol Ann Duffy
If we think that this life is all there is to life, then there is no interpretation of our problems, our pain, not even of our privileges. But everything changes when we open up to the possibility that God's story is really our story too.
‐‐ Max Lucado
If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
‐‐ Marian Wright Edelman
If we thought it would improve our relationship, we would get married tomorrow, but as it is, nearly 7 years after we got engaged, we are content to wait.
‐‐ Benny Anderson
If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president.
‐‐ Ann Coulter
If we took Chaucer's writings at face value, we'd have to conclude he was a complete drip.
‐‐ John Hutton
If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience. Reality is no less precious if it presents itself to someone else. All are discoverers, and if we disenfranchise any, all suffer.
‐‐ John Polanyi
If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat, they, too, would purr.
‐‐ Martin Delany
If we tried to write about politics, you'd realize that we're all a bunch of idiots.
‐‐ Mark Hoppus
If we truly seek diversity in fiction, we have to let the needs of others come before our need to define ourselves as social justice allies.
‐‐ Jennifer Armintrout
If we truly understand, remember, and love the people of Indonesia, let us accept this principle of social justice, that is, not only political equality, but we must create equality in the economic field, too, which means the best possible well-being.
‐‐ Sukarno
If we truly value humanity, life, and all that it represents in its highest form, then we need to do all that we can to promote quality of life over the quantity of life.
‐‐ Christy Turlington
If we truly want to achieve lasting economic growth, we need our businesses to do more business - and we need them to do it in America.
‐‐ Kevin Brady
If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators.
‐‐ Ben Stein
If we turn our back on the people of this country who need to work for a living, we shouldn't be here, to be honest, because that has to be an essential part of what we do to protect the country, from the standpoint of defense, protect workers and make sure they have jobs.
‐‐ Barbara Boxer
If we turn to palaeontology to tell us about our biological evolution it is to prehistory that we look for evidence of the evolution of specifically human patterns of behaviour.
‐‐ John G. D. Clark
If we understand the past, we are more likely to recognise what is happening around us.
‐‐ Helen Dunmore
If we understand the worm, we understand life.
‐‐ John Sulston
If we use goods made from raw materials that are obtained from a poor country without the proceeds being used to benefit the people of that country, we become complicit in a particularly iniquitous form of grand larceny.
‐‐ Peter Singer
If we vaccinate well, if we increase those vaccination rates, we can stop measles just as we stopped it before.
‐‐ Tom Frieden
If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '
‐‐ Annie Lennox
If we vote to Leave and take back control, all sorts of opportunities open up. Including doing new free trade deals around the world, restoring Britain's seat on all sorts of international bodies, restoring health to our democracy and belief to our democracy.
‐‐ Boris Johnson
If we wait for the U.S. to do something, we will be waiting for a very long time. It's Europe, it's Australia, it's the other developed and middle developing countries that have got to do the job.
‐‐ Susan George
If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.
‐‐ Dirk Benedict
If we wander around as politicians jumping at every shadow and desperately afraid of having our words taken out of context or attacks layered on in an unfair way, I think we're actually doing a disrespect to Canadians, to people's intelligence.
‐‐ Justin Trudeau
If we want a great future in this world, we have to take God at his word, and God makes it really clear that society and civilization is held together by the glue of families... This is where the next generation of human beings are incubated and nurtured and matured - in homes. In families.
‐‐ Kirk Cameron
