The opposition has moved from a blaming the victim to blaming the victim's advocate's statistics. Irrespective of what the numbers are, it's far too many.
Patricia Ireland

The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opposition than from his fervent supporters.
Walter Lippmann

The opposition may have the right to doubt every thing, but for myself, I call on opposition to practice its role within limits of objectively, responsibility and country interests.
Ali A. Saleh

The simple opposition between the people and big business has disappeared because the people themselves have become so deeply involved in big business.
Walter Lippmann

The Western musical canon came about not merely by accumulation, but by opposition and subversion, both to the ruling powers on whom composers depended for their livelihoods and to other musics.

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.

Nigel Lawson

We always knew when we took on the issue of violence against women that somehow our opposition would come after us.
Patricia Ireland

We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!
Margaret J. Wheatley

We have views on social issues that may seem to some that we are hard-line Tories. However our economics policies and our opposition to the process called globalisation could be considered by some to place us on the far-left of conventional politics.
Steve Blake

Patricia Hewitt

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.
Edward R. Murrow

We respect opposition to any position or policy. But we believe that the opinion that should prevail and be respected is that of the majority.

We supported the contras. We're not against all opposition to government, or all paramilitary operations.
Chris Matthews
