Assuming Quotes (page 25)

We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it...We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible an depending as much time as possible in deliberation. We really only trust conscious decision making. But there are moments, particularly in times of stress, when haste does not make waste, when our snap judgments and first impressions can offer a much better means of making... Malcolm Gladwell
I think that in all descriptions of the good life here on earth we must assume a certain basis of animal vitality and animal instinct; without this, life becomes tame and uninteresting. Civilization should be something added to this, not substituted for it; the ascetic saint and the detached sage fail in this respect to be complete human beings. A small number of them may enrich a community; but a world composed of them would die of boredom. Bertrand Russell

And so I think that the North Koreans are trying to see what they can build with this, with my new administration. Lee Myung-bak
If we are to assume that North Korea becomes a nuclear-power state, of course the danger of having an all-out nuclear war, that possibility is very slim. Lee Myung-bak
I think cheese smells funny, but I feel bananas "are" funny. I'm assuming Swamp told the whole story of the executives seriously asking us to replace the banana with cheese because they thought it was funnier. Joe Murray
I lost some of my friends because I got so famous, people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life. Haruki Murakami
If we hope and even assume that the social question will be answered through communism, and not in this or that country but in the world, any thought of centralization must be a monstrosity. Johann Most
Johann Most quote: "As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument..."
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing. Johann Most
I tend to play strong characters and people just assume that I would want to play romantic comedies, which I would love to do, but there are other women that do it so great and they maybe couldn't do what I do, play the kind of characters that I play. Carrie-Anne Moss
I merged those two words, black and feminist, because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes. Toni Morrison
When I got to filmmaking, the most democratic of environments where anybody could say anything, those were the best environments, but what you don't want to assume is that you know what the audience is thinking. Rick Moranis
Jerry Moran quote: "I always assumed the Department of Agriculture was the farmer..."
I always assumed the Department of Agriculture was the farmer and rancher's friend. Jerry Moran
Steven Moffat quote: "I can say with pride verging on smugness that I've got two..."
I can say with pride verging on smugness that I've got two very successful shows that assume their audience is very smart. Steven Moffat
Police in Washington D.C. are now using cameras to catch drivers who go through red lights. Many congressmen this week opposed the use of the red light cameras incorrectly assuming they were being used for surveillance at local brothels. Dennis Miller
