Arlen Specter As the Church is the aggregate of believers, there is an intimate analogy between the experience of the individual believer, and of the Church as a whole. Charles Hodge By analogy, if we were to develop a soccer team, then we would not invite basketball and volleyball players to the try outs. We would invite soccer players to apply. Jean-Marie Le Pen Divine life is in touch with the whole universe on the analogy of the soul's contact with the body. Muhammed Iqbal Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time. Thomas Nagel I have expertise in five different fields which helps me to easily understand the analogy between my scientific problems and those occurring in nature. Philip Emeagwali I take the walk to be the externalization of an interior seeking so that the analogy is first of all between the external and the internal. A. R. Ammons Life is like an analogy. Aaron Allston Many people tend to look at programming styles and languages like religions: if you belong to one, you cannot belong to others. But this analogy is another fallacy. Niklaus Wirth Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy. Benjamin Disraeli One good analogy is worth three hours discussion. Dudley Field Malone One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they think about memes is they try to extend on the analogy with genes. That's not how it works. It works by realizing the concept of a replicator. Susan Blackmore Prediction by analogy -creativity - is so pervasive we normally don't notice it. Jeff Hawkins That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it. Lukas Foss The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means. Susan Sontag The mathematical facts worthy of being studied are those which, by their analogy with other facts, are capable of leading us to the knowledge of a physical law. Henri Poincare The principle of equity first came into evidence in Roman jurisprudence and was derived by analogy from the physical meaning of the word. Herbert Read Though analogy is often misleading, it is the least misleading thing we have. Samuel Butler To take an analogy: if we say that a democratic government is the best kind of government, we mean that it most completely fulfills the highest function of a government - the realisation of the will of the people. John Drinkwater We often attribute "understanding" and other cognitive predicates by metaphor and analogy to cars, adding machines, and other artifacts, but nothing is proved by such attributions.
