I view risk-aversion as crippling America in many ways.
We've all been brought up with the view that religion has some kind of special privileged status. You're not allowed to criticise it.
The study of history reveals that human progress has not been continuous and regular, but intermittent and spasmodic, often depending upon apparently accidental causes. It is difficult to get a cross-section view of society at any given stage.
When you read that UBS did not even view parts of its mortgage portfolio as having market risk, it becomes very obvious that a number of firms were not dotting the i's and crossing the t's when it comes to risk management.
The hours we pass with happy prospects in view are more pleasing than those crowded with fruition.
Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he shall not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or too base for what he wants to offer.
I was a lot more cultured than the other kids in my high school. Because I traveled, I understood different cultures and had a more worldly view. Most of the people I went to high school with had never been outside of California.

I want to be clear: I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans.
As the publisher of FSG and the custodian of its legacy, I have an interested insider's view.

I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.
If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense.
If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense. I am just one human being.
A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has denounced negotiation with Iran as a 'historic mistake' that is making the world 'a more dangerous place.' His partners in Washington vigorously echo that view.
When I'm about ready to press the cable release on the View camera, I've tried to anticipate some of the challenges I'm going to encounter in the darkroom.
Dialogue means debates and everyone's point of view.
I don't do formal debates, because formal debates where you have two people up on a stage in equal status, and each of them is given 20 minutes to give their point of view, and then 10 minutes for a rebuttal, or whatever, that creates the illusion that you really do have here two equal points of view of equal scientific standing.
