Woman
Young

- Amity Shlaes
Idea
Resulted
Public discourse about climate change has resulted in the erroneous idea that it's all about cost, burden and sacrifice. If the math was correct, everyone would see it's about profit, jobs and competitive advantage.

About

Happen

Sound
Most
The sibilant s is the most difficult sound to correct.
- Christine Baranski
Feet
Evidence
I have the idea that running shoes are based on a kind of cult idea - that our feet are flawed and we need shoes to correct those flaws. The shoe companies are in the business of selling shoes.

Ryan
Analysts may be correct that the presidential election won't primarily turn on entitlements reform, but by choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney can, contrary to conventional wisdom, make it a winning issue and lay the foundation for a reform mandate when he wins.
- David Limbaugh
Them
Right Road
Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they're on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on.

- Jimmy Lai
Dancing
Utter
I get amazed, I can't look at it but about 10 seconds, at these politicians dancing around this, dancing around this, I'm trying to find a correct name for it, this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men.
- Jimmy Swaggart
Big
Own
In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In 'Robin Hood', you have more artistic license - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.
- Joanne Froggatt
Allergic
Being
I'm completely allergic to being politically correct.
- Joanne Liu
Learn
Deficiencies
We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.

Part
Being wrong on facts, that's something you have a real responsibility to correct. But being wrong in the fun sports way is part of the interplay.
- Joe Posnanski
Love
Always
I always use the basic quality of people to achieve what I want to achieve. That's a different way of thinking. I always love that they do things. And when it goes wrong, well, try to correct it in one way or another.

Looking Back
See
In looking back, I see nothing to regret and little to correct.

- John Fiske
I Think
Role
I think judicial temperament is a willingness to step back from your own committed views of the correct jurisprudential approach and evaluate those views in terms of your role as a judge. It's the difference between being a judge and being a law professor.

Humble
Divinity
The correct description is that we try every day to become more humble when we talk about divinity, we try to realize how little we know and how open minded we should be.
- John Templeton

Perfect
Very

Other

However
Tries
Show business always tries to stereotype you, so that is something you have to fight against no matter who you are. A lot of actors who are of a minority background complain that they only get stereotyped roles, and they are 100 percent correct. However, it's also true that, no matter who you are, you get typecast as well.
- Judah Friedlander
Will
Come
The things that are correct for me will come to me at the time that I am interested in them and have the capacity, the understanding, to do them.
- Julia Roberts
Enemy
Observe
People are not wrong in observing Caste. In my view, what is wrong is their religion, which has inculcated this notion of Caste. If this is correct, then obviously the enemy, you must grapple with is not the people who observe Caste, but the Shastras which teach them this religion of Caste.

Will
Every time you make the hard, correct decision you become a bit more courageous, and every time you make the easy, wrong decision you become a bit more cowardly. If you are CEO, these choices will lead to a courageous or cowardly company.

Prepared

Set

- Benjamin Watson
Been
Took
I took the position from day one that it was the right decree, that the modifications I made to the decree were proper, that the correct outcome had been obtained, and that in due time all of that would become apparent. And it has become apparent.
- Harold H. Greene
Think
Behind
I don't feel like I need to tell any lies. You get to an age where you get tired of hiding behind whatever people think is correct. You just say what you have to say, and if they don't like it, it's OK.
- Betty Wright
About
Acceptable
What I said about John was that he liberated me from my anxieties about writing in a correct, acceptable way.

- Henri Bergson
Only
Weight
There is no such thing as a 'correct' weight for any particular height - they are only averages.
- Henry Beard
Doing
Manner
I'm a hugger of both men and women. As it turns out that those are taken in an offensive manner, I need to have a greater sense of awareness of what I am doing, and we will correct that, and I am taking those steps.
- Bob Filner
Design
More
All conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations.
- Henry Petroski
Through
Which
Each experience through which we pass operates ultimately for our good. This is a correct attitude to adopt and we must be able to see it in that light.
- Henry S. Haskins
Purpose
Address
My purpose in public address and in speech is really encapsulated in three C's: clear, concise, correct. No overblowing rhetoric or anything like that. As simple as possible: clear, concise, correct.
- Bob Sheppard
Fact
System
All correct reasoning is a grand system of tautologies, but only God can make direct use of that fact.
- Herbert Simon
Which
Likely

Crowd
Tolerant
The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with.

Necessary

- Brent Spiner
Individual
German
With respect to the respective French and German traditions you are no doubt correct, although I am reluctant to see individual achievement reduced to archetypes.
- Brian Ferneyhough
Previous
Were
Science is a self-correcting discipline that can, in subsequent generations, show that previous ideas were not correct.
- Brian Greene
Religious
Extent
One important theme is the extent to which one can ever correct an error, especially outside any frame of religious forgiveness. All of us have done something we regret - how we manage to remove that from our conscience, or whether that's even possible, interested me.
- Ian Mcewan
New
Offers
Democracy opens new vistas and opportunities. We should use the opportunities it offers to correct past mistakes not to blunder anew.
- Ibrahim Babangida
Human Condition
People ask what are my intentions with my films - my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer: I try to tell the truth about the human condition, the truth as I see it. This answer seems to satisfy everyone, but it is not quite correct.
- Ingmar Bergman
About
Frequently
Global warming has become a new religion. We frequently hear about the number of scientists who support it. But the number is not important: only whether they are correct is important. We don't really know what the actual effect on the global temperature is. There are better ways to spend the money.
- Ivar Giaever
Father
Languages
I'm used to shifting languages because my father used to speak to us, to my brother and I, he used to speak in English. He wanted us to be quite fluent in English, especially when he was trying to correct our behavior; he would do that in English.
- J. M. G. Le Clezio
Take
Quite
Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.
- J. Robert Oppenheimer
Question
Evidence
There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.
- J. Robert Oppenheimer
