I think I'm a combination of very simple pleasures and the fact I've read a lot of books. I don't think it's a binary opposition across the board in humans and I think I'm an example that it's not. I'm hosting gay marriage rallies and I have tons of guns at home. There's a lot of middle ground in the world and I'm one of those people.

I have spent many years of my life in opposition and I rather like the role.

Every non-political human grouping of whatever kind legal social religious economic or other becomes at last political if it creates an opposition deep enough to range men against one another as enemies.

There has not yet been a major ground offensive battle... There are we know negotiations going on between the opposition forces and the Taliban leadership for surrender.

I am leaving because I have to fight simultaneously a potential recurrence of cancer the Democratic leadership a health care bill that's going to destroy this country my opposition to it and a belief that my party has become what it became - what it campaigned against.

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

The little may contrast with the great in painting but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast but there are also colors contrary to each other that is which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

We in the Labour party know better than most that opposition is the easy part. What's more difficult is governing and setting out an agenda for government.

The Founders recognized that Government is quite literally a necessary evil that there must be opposition between its various branches and between political parties for these are the only ways to temper the individual's greed for power and the electorates' desires for peace by submission to coercion or blandishment.

We'll support the government on issues if it's essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians.

The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government.

First of all I can't forget my first responsibility - which is to be the Leader of the Opposition and that's to provide an alternative government.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

If the opposition disarms well and good. If it refuses to disarm we shall disarm it ourselves.

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