I hate facts. I always say the chief end of man is to form general propositions - adding that no general proposition is worth a damn.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
Fortunately I know how to counter it, the man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink. The man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition, from the man who did the waking.
Johnny Depp
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had le...

When I got to college, acting suddenly seemed like a very risky proposition and all my friends were going to law school or med school or Wall Street.
Wentworth Miller
Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.
George Michael
When we consider that it is small business that drives the economy — to have that engine resting on the backs of millions of uninsured workers is a bad proposition for the U.S. economy. This has to be seen as a wake-up call to policymakers and healthcar...

We`re not going to untie the boats until we get a reasonable price to go fishing. We love to fish, but you can`t keep doing it if it`s a losing proposition. We haven`t been offered a price that`s worth us going fishing for.
Larry Collins
We have a criminal system that makes mistakes. If you accept that proposition, that means you have to be prepared for the inevitability that some are sentenced to death for crimes they didn`t commit,
Thomas Hill
We believe that economics does not necessarily have to be a zero-sum game; it can be a win-win proposition for everyone involved so long as they have the tools in which to succeed.
Andre Heard
There`s a story everywhere. Being bored to death someplace is basically a funny proposition. What you have to watch out for is you don`t write a boring story about a boring place.
Tim Cahill
There is something precious in our being mysteries to ourselves, in our being unable ever to see through even the person who is closest to our heart and to reckon with him as though he were a logical proposition or a problem in accounting
Barb Fleisner
There are many innovations that have been proposed. There is a proposition that life tenure means that you have the position of judge for life, but not the position of chief justice for life.
Angus MacMillan
The proposition of an established classification of states as slave states and free states, as insisted on by some, and into northern and southern, as maintained by others, seems to me purely imaginary, and of course the supposed equilibrium of those clas...

The general proposition is that the resources that will be utilized are the ones that contribute most to the overall efficiency of the production system. The third parameter has to do with our commercial world, our search for profits.
Amanda Cruz
Teacher tenure is a myth, ... California teachers only have basic due process rights so they aren`t fired for arbitrary reasons like speaking out on behalf of textbooks for their students. Proposition 74 just adds millions in costs to the current evaluati...

Now that I know how supermarket meat is made, I regard eating it as a somewhat risky proposition. I know how those animals live and what`s on their hides when they go to slaughter, so I don`t buy industrial meat.
Amanda Zimmerman
If one wants to start with the proposition that it`s obviously in their (Conservatives`) advantage to have the election in January-February, no, the data doesn`t support that,
Bruce Anderson
I think part of the reason why you`ve never seen a show set at a major international airport on television before is because it`s a really complicated proposition. We`ll be shooting at a number of different locations to create a composite of what ultimate...
Anthony Russo
I tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.
