Right, but there's expertise and then there's inside information. And I think we have to make a distinction.

Daniel Okrent Some people make sharp distinctions sort of between their recreational musings and their professional work. I don't make that distinction very much. Whitfield Diffie Texas has long been known as the nation's largest energy producer, but we are equally proud of our distinction as the nation's leading energy innovator. Rick Perry That attitude does not exist so much today, but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics. Gordon Gould That is the great distinction between the sexes. Men see objects, women see the relationships between objects. John Fowles That means that every human being - without distinction of sex, age, race, skin color, language, religion, political view, or national or social origin - possesses an inalienable and untouchable dignity. Hans Kung The ability to speak is a short cut to distinction. It puts a man in the limelight, raises him head and shoulders above the crowd. Lowell Thomas The Almighty has fixed the distinction of the races; the Almighty has made the black man inferior, and sir, by no legislation, by no partisan success, by no revolution, by no military power, can you wipe out this distinction. Fernando Wood The author of McCarthyism was given the distinction of addressing the Republican National Convention. This strikes terror in the hearts of honest men. Emanuel Celler The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction. John Lennon The difference between a tool and a machine is not capable of very precise distinction; nor is it necessary, in a popular explanation of those terms, to limit very strictly their acceptation. Charles Babbage The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love. Niccolo Machiavelli The distinction between the old and the new formulations consisting in the incorporation of the concept of the rate of chemical reactions is so great that it immediately asserted itself in the objective development of catalysis. Wilhelm Ostwald The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Albert Einstein The fact - not theory - that evolution has occurred and the Darwinian theory as to how it occurred have become so confused in popular opinion that the distinction must be stressed. George G. Simpson The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion. Walter Benjamin The hero, the mythical subject, is constructed as human being and as male; he is the active principle of culture, the establisher of distinction, the creator of differences. Teresa de Lauretis The inspired Scriptures make the clear distinction between false and true riches and make plain the reason why happiness is gained and fully enjoyed only by those who find true riches. Joseph Franklin Rutherford The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage. Nelson A. Miles The oak has long been an enduring and mighty tree. It is truly a part of our national heritage and it merits the formal distinction of America's National Tree. Bob Goodlatte |
