Unless your government is respectable, foreigners will invade your rights; and to maintain tranquillity, it must be respectable - even to observe neutrality, you must have a strong government.

Unless your kid is Pele Jr., they're not going to be able to feed themselves from soccer. If your kid knows how to play soccer, but not make dinner, you have done them a disservice.
‐‐ Alton Brown
Unless your name is Jack Bauer, you cannot make people talk.

Unlicensed illegal immigrants drive on our roads and interstates without insurance, and there is little that our law enforcement officials can do to stop them.
‐‐ Spencer Bachus
Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
‐‐ B. R. Ambedkar
Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business. He loved it so much.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
Unlike a lot of comics, I didn't care about getting on 'Saturday Night Live.' That show had such history and was so established that I didn't see the point.
‐‐ Artie Lange
Unlike a lot of people, I don't feel powerless. I know I can do something. But anyone can do something, it's not about being special. It's about deciding to do it - to dive into work for peace and justice and care for everybody on the planet.
‐‐ Patch Adams
Unlike a lot of people, I don't need the affirmation or anything.
‐‐ Bob Seger
Unlike a lot of writers, I don't have any craving to be understood.
‐‐ Jim Harrison
Unlike a typical professional, I can't quit my job to become a full-time author; I don't have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work.
‐‐ Ashwin Sanghi
Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence.
‐‐ Lewis H. Lapham
Unlike any other leader in modern American history, we are led today by a president that has decided to pit Americans against each other.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
Unlike any other time in our history, we have to know that staying in school and getting an education is the most important thing you can do.
‐‐ Alexis Herman
Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.
‐‐ John Berger
Unlike charcoal grills, which take up to 30 minutes or more to heat up, wood pellet grills can give off an even heat quite quickly. And, unlike propane grills which heat up quickly but lack flavor, foods cooked on pellet grills are rich in smokiness and succulence.
‐‐ Homaro Cantu
Unlike Chicago or New York, small-town Minnesota did not allow a man's failings to disappear beneath a veil of numbers. People talked. Secrets did not stay secret.
‐‐ Tim O'Brien
Unlike curing cancer or heart disease, we already know how to beat hunger: food.
‐‐ Mario Batali
Unlike 'Deal or No Deal,' which is for the entire family, my standup is not for the entire family.
‐‐ Howie Mandel
Unlike despotisms, modern democracies are not supposed promiscuously to accumulate property and then charge their taxpayers to maintain it. But that is what they do. Governments are always trying to extend their responsibilities and their estates, and it is very hard for parliaments to reign them in.
‐‐ James Buchan
Unlike earlier black-power movements that tried to fight or segregate for self-preservation, Black Lives Matter aligns with the dead, continues the mourning, and refuses the forgetting in front of all of us.
‐‐ Claudia Rankine
Unlike economics, whose sole preoccupation in our finance-obsessed era is the near-term profit motive, history offers a way to place our tiny lifespans in a narrative that spans dozens of generations - perhaps even reaching into a future where capitalism is no longer our dominant form of economic organization.
‐‐ Annalee Newitz
Unlike Etsy, which is all handmade, we print and ship the products, not the designers. We relieve the designer from having to make and ship everything, package it, and provide customer service. All the designer has to do is submit art and keep doing what they love doing.
‐‐ Mariam Naficy
Unlike Europe, China can't be intimidated. Europe backs down if the United States looks at it the wrong way. But China, they've been there for 3,000 years and are paying no attention to the barbarians and don't see any need to.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Unlike every other retirement vehicle, such as IRAs and 401(k)s, you receive a tax deduction for making contributions to your HSA but don't have to pay income taxes on withdrawals.
‐‐ Paul Zane Pilzer
Unlike F. Scott Fitzgerald and Tom Wolfe, I don't like proper dress while working. I like writing in pajama-like clothing, which eases and relaxes me and allows me to connect with the decidedly improper.
‐‐ Chang-Rae Lee
Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about.
‐‐ Raf Simons
Unlike fiction, which you create before you go into production, with reality you kind of create it after everything is produced. The drama and the storytelling is really done in post.
‐‐ Kurt Sutter
Unlike film and TV, theater is a luxury object, but one that ordinary middle-class people can still afford. Above all, it isn't a mass medium: Live theater is a small-scale, handmade art form. Intimacy is what makes it special.
‐‐ Terry Teachout
Unlike film, live theater is an anti-naturalistic medium in which character is mainly illuminated through speech and movement.
‐‐ Terry Teachout
Unlike films, which can be easily disseminated worldwide via DVDs and the Internet, plays struggle to find an international audience.
‐‐ Katori Hall
Unlike fuel-economy standards, the most common method of reducing demand for oil over the past thirty years, a gas tax doesn't tell people what kind of car to drive. It simply raises the price of gasoline and lets people adjust their behavior accordingly.
‐‐ James Surowiecki
Unlike grown ups, children have little need to deceive themselves.
‐‐ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unlike Hezbollah, Israel's more modest aim is to survive, and that it has done.
‐‐ Mark Helprin
Unlike his predecessors, Obama is not big on 'Masterpiece Theatre' nostalgia.
‐‐ Tina Brown
Unlike in Europe, where serving is often a career rather than a backup plan, American table-waiting remains a bootstrap business, and some of the biggest skeptics of waiter training courses and schools are seasoned servers themselves.
‐‐ David Sax
Unlike in my young days I'm not able to eat, drink and sleep tennis.
‐‐ Amelie Mauresmo
Unlike Iran, Israel refuses to allow inspections at all, refuses to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty, has hundreds of nuclear weapons, has advanced delivery systems.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Unlike life, you've got more or less complete control over what's going on in your stories. That's not to say you can make characters do whatever you want them to - they usually have a life of their own if you've done your job properly.
‐‐ Paul Kane
Unlike many deities of the ancient Near East, the God of Israel shared his power with no female divinity, nor was he the divine husband or lover of any.
‐‐ Elaine Pagels
Unlike many graduate fellowships, the Rhodes seeks leaders who will 'fight the world's fight.' They must be more than mere bookworms. We are looking for students who wonder, students who are reading widely, students of passion who are driven to make a difference in the lives of those around them and in the broader world.
‐‐ Heather Wilson
Unlike many in the conservative camp, I accept theories of global warming, and accept that man-made activity has played a part in global warming. My differences have only been on what the solutions should be.
‐‐ Bradley A. Smith
Unlike many of its European neighbors, Britain shares many of America's financial traits.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
Unlike many other places, Hilo is more fascinating on closer acquaintance - so fascinating that it is hard to write about it in plain prose.
‐‐ Isabella Bird
Unlike Marvel, we are not setting up redundant organizations for expertise that exists. We will track all DC properties to measure financial success.
‐‐ Diane Nelson
Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have.
‐‐ Cynthia Nixon
Unlike Milan, Italy's banking capital, or Rome, its religious center, Florence was the place where the rich went to buy goods that would showcase how wealthy they were.
‐‐ Hanya Yanagihara
Unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama is standing up for Planned Parenthood.
‐‐ Bev Perdue
Unlike most divorced parents, whose interactions are confined to the topic of the kids, people still sharing a house have to talk about clogged sinks and moth infestations.
