Quotes about conceivably (16 Quotes)





    I am often confronted by the necessity of standing by one of my empirical selves and relinquishing the rest. Not that I would not. If I could, be... a great athlete and make a million a year, be a wit, a born -- vivant and a lady killer, as well as a philosopher, a philanthropist ... and saint. But the thing is simply impossible. The millionaire's work would run counter to the saint s the bon-vivant and the philanthropist would trip each other up the philosopher and the lady killer could not well keep house in the same tenement of clay. Such different characters may conceivably, at the outset of life. Be alike possible for a man. But to make any one of them actual, the rest must more of less be suppressed. So the seeker of his truest, strongest, deepest self must review the list carefully and pick out on which to stake his salvation. All other selves thereupon become unreal, but the fortunes of this self are real. Its failure are real failures, its triumphs real triumphs carrying shame and gladness with them.

    We don't ask for the approval from the government to print things. But by the same token, we do want to know if there's something that would hurt someone if we disclose certain information -- and what it is. Then we make very careful decisions and talk about it with dozens of people including their editors and top government officials before the actual story runs. It could conceivably be too sensitive say, if you find out -- through one means or another -- that somebody had a spy by a certain name in a foreign government and that person would be immediately killed if it were revealed.


    An athlete could conceivably get a negative test from something they ingest without any benefit from a banned substance even though it can be found in small amounts in a product. But if it goes through our rigorous process, we can say the product contains what the label says it does - and nothing else.

    I think it's special for the whole club. The first 20-game winner this club ever had. He's been a Rookie of the Year and an All-Star. He conceivably could get 23 or 24 wins in the regular season. He's done everything you can ask for. I'm tired of talking about what a great competitor he is, but he is. You've got to give him credit. Some could say someone else helped him. ... Baloney. He did it himself.

    Despite our belief that crude prices will slowly trend down over the remainder of the year, further escalation in the U. N.-Iran standoff could quite conceivably send oil to a new record above 70.

    While such essential care would not include the cost of visits to the doctor, our data suggest that people who receive additional assistance would be less likely to be hospitalized, and that could conceivably allow us to keep our health care-costs down while still providing for our frail elders. As our population ages, there will be more need to find economical ways to care for this group, and adequate home-based care could be both less expensive and more effective for some than full-time nursing-home care.

    Exeter was, I suspect, more crucial in my life than in the lives of most members of my class, and conceivably, than in the lives of almost anyone else who ever attended the school.

    The actor's comments could conceivably end up getting someone killed. Mr. Cruise's advice was not only dangerous, but also absurd and wrong. It is our hope and prayer that anyone who has been talked out of acquiring life-saving health care by Mr. Cruise reevaluate Mr. Cruise's ill-informed advice and go back to treatment. Life and health are too precious to risk by taking the medical advice of a uneducated movie actor.

    Before we as individuals are even conscious of our existence we have been profoundly influenced for a considerable time (since before birth) by our relationship to other individuals who have complicated histories, and are members of a society which has an infinitely more complicated and longer history than they do (and are members of it at a particular time and place in that history) and by the time we are able to make conscious choices we are already making use of categories in a language which has reached a particular degree of development through the lives of countless generations of human beings before us.... We are social creatures to the inmost centre of our being. The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong.

    Numbers are the product of counting. Quantities are the product of measurement. This means that numbers can conceivably be accurate because there is a discontinuity between each integer and the next.

    Provided that research advances to the point that we can demonstrate these cells' true therapeutic benefit, parents could conceivably choose to bank their child's amniotic epithelial cells in the event they may someday be needed, as is sometimes done now with umbilical cord blood,

    We are urged each and every day to spend and borrow and live for the moment. Don't you know that you can't live without that 51-inch projection television How can you conceivably drive a 15-year-old car

    I'm not sure why writing for others became harder. Probably a reluctance to give away anything you might conceivably use yourself caused a block. I did it, but it remained hard when it had once been easy.
