I'm afraid I was very much the traditionalist. I went down on one knee and dictated a proposal which my secretary faxed over straight away.
Stephen Fry

The conservatives want to revolutionize the world all at once. And that's a dangerous proposal.
Bernard-Henri Levy

To have the United States suddenly come up with a peace proposal after a whole series of terrorist attacks is going to show to the world that this sort of method is something that western societies can't stand.
Henry A. Kissinger

Beginning to dismantle the Pentagon would save $1 trillion a year - a small government proposal if ever there was one.

I refused David Letterman's proposal of marriage for obvious reasons, but thanks for asking.
Teri Garr

I always had boyfriends, but I never imagined a proposal or a wedding. To me, that was like having a ball and chain round your neck.
Sandra Bullock

The establishment of formal standards for proofs about programs... and the proposal that the semantics of a programming language may be defined independently of all processors for that language, by establishing standards of rigor for proofs about programs in the language, appears to be novel.
Robert W. Floyd

Let not our proposal be disregarded on the score of our youth.

Whenever government proposes to get involved in the regulation of trade, just be very, very careful about who's behind this proposal, what their motives are.
P. J. O'Rourke

Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.
P. J. O'Rourke

In the nineteenth century, many Anglican theologians, both evangelical and catholic, embraced positively the proposal of evolution.
Arthur Peacocke

When I go to a fine dining restaurant, I'm excited and I do expect to find proposals to wake my senses.
Ferran Adria

I make the modest proposal that psychiatric care should be as easy to get as bullets at Wal-Mart.
Andy Borowitz

Yes, the marriage proposal was shot. Michael excluded the dialogue from the final edit.
Madeleine Stowe
15.
You can display no greater wisdom than by resisting proposals for needless legislation. It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.
Calvin Coolidge
16.
The Democrats have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy.
Ann Coulter

I was working on a flat tax proposal and accidentally proved there was no God.
Homer

But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.
Abu Bakar Bashir

The Russian proposal over Iran's uranium enrichment program is considerable, but it has some problems and ambiguities to be clarified in future talks.
Ali Larijani

Trial by jury must and shall be preserved! Amidst the throng of crude sacrilegisms ... that assail us nowadays in the legal sanctuary, none is more shortsighted, none more dangerous, than the proposal to abolish trial by jury.
John Henry Wigmore

It's very difficult to decide. And I'm very open to proposals.
Paz Vega

Ben Carson also denounced [Donald] Trump`s ban all Muslims proposal saying we do not and would not advocate being selective on one`s religion.
Rachel Maddow

Stubborn opposition to proposals often has no other basis than the complaining question, 'Why wasn't I consulted?'
Daniel Patrick Moynihan
25.
Years passed and I hadn't really done much writing. Other than the fact that I'm constantly developing new shows, writing up proposals and stuff.
Greg Weisman
26.
The world is experiencing great change, but you've got loads of people terrified of this change and the Donald Trumps, the Boris Johnsons making utterly simplistic, reductionist policy proposals that are unrealistic but then people buy it up.
Moby

Even if you don't feel like sitting down to write or working on that big proposal, or whatever it is, just show up anyhow and the rest will follow.
Ayana Mathis

It's my preferred working style to have bipartisan legislation. I think what the Democrats have made clear is that they don't want to deal with anything that repeals and replaces Obamacare. I think they wouldn't want to do anything that gets rid of the mandates, which is a big part of our proposal, getting rid of the individual employer mandates.
John Thune

I think the Ronald Reagan tax reform proposals are a step toward distributive justice. They redistribute the tax burden more equitably and more progressively among individuals and call upon business to carry a somewhat larger proportion of the total tax load. Both of these are steps toward equity and distributive justice.
Bruce Babbitt

On the last day, Chelsea made a great proposal and I accepted.
Robinho

The proposal that men and women should be treated equally under the law is hardly a controversial concept.
Carolyn Maloney

Forming of a web of information nodes rather than a hierarchical tree or an ordered list is the basic concept behind HyperText.
Tim Berners-Lee
34.
We need a big debate in society about how we are going to shape Europe and tame capitalism. A government must provide direction and make concrete proposals. It is one of Angela Merkel's biggest failings that she doesn't do this.
Martin Schulz
35.
Ultimately, my proposal isn't intended to increase or decrease the amount of federal spending spent on antipoverty programs.
Marco Rubio
36.
Is this a proposal? I'm married now, you know.
Rod Steiger
37.
There was always something immensely comic to her in the thought of living elsewhere than New York. She could not regard as serious proposals that she share a western residence.
Dorothy Parker

I unfolded the note, and it took me a few seconds to decipher Adrian’s writing. If he did write me a dating proposal, I really hoped he would type it.
Richelle Mead
39.
The Russian ambassador at the United Nations did make some proposals for a political settlement in which Bashar Assad would be slowly eased out. The West dismissed it immediately, and we don't know if it was real, because it didn't come from the Kremlin, and it was informal. But the point is every such proposal is immediately scotched. And you just don't know if they're real.
Noam Chomsky

Another way in which our system is unfair. Why do Iowans get so much of a bigger voice every four years than everybody else? Ditto for New Hampshire. There are proposals and it could well happen that we could have a rotating calendar where different years different states went first. I would endorse that.
Frank Bruni

Catherine went still. Her eyes closed against a sudden wet sting. 'Did you accept her proposal?' Leo nuzzled tenderly into the hollow beneath her ear. 'Of course not, pea-goose.
Lisa Kleypas

I've voted in some cases to remove and reduce tax breaks for the oil industry in other cases I've voted not to because I felt that the proposals covered too much.
Jeff Bingaman

I'll accept commissions from anyone who isn't frightened by my proposals.
Robert Denning

One can neither agree nor disagree with a terminological proposal, as long as it is clear that it is just that: terminological.
Noam Chomsky

Bill Shorten should - either knows that or at least he should know it and for him to change the conversation by proposing - by suggesting a proposal significantly more adventurous than where the conversation has been up until now was a very unhelpful intervention.
George Brandis

Danzhol. The one with the marriage proposal and the objections to the town charter in central Monsea. "Bacon," Bitterblue muttered. "Bacon!" she repeated, then carefully made her way up the spiral stairs.
Kristin Cashore

I must dissent emphatically from any proposal to spend any money on preparing a statue of me, more especially at a time when people do not have enough food and clothing.
Mahatma Gandhi
48.
Even though we still don't know any precise details, we're already making it clear that some proposals like a border tax or "buy-American" regulations are heading in a protectionist direction. The Americans' sudden proposal to classify certain steel products as national security-related is also something that we find highly problematic.
Cecilia Malmstrom

I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
Mark Millar

Most theoretical work since the proposals of Hebb (1949) and Hayek (1952) has relied upon particular forms of dependent synaptic rules in which either pre- or postsynaptic change is contingent upon closely occurring events in both neurons taking part in the synapse.
