Quotations regarding 'Example'

Choose a letter: 
O God and Lord, now the council condemns even Your own act and Your own law as heresy, since You Yourself did lay Your cause before Your Father as the just judge, as an example for us, whenever we are sorely oppressed.
Jan Hus, Czechoslovakian Philosopher
Jordan seeks to play only one role, that of a model state. It is our aim to set an example for our Arab brethren, not one that they need follow but one that will inspire them to seek a higher, happier destiny within their own borders.
King Hussein I, Jordanian Statesman (1935-1999)
Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur.
Edmund Husserl, German Philosopher (1859-1938)
For example, a breakthrough in better batteries could supplant hydrogen. Better solar cells could replace or win out in this race to the fuel of the future. Those, I see, as the three big competitors: hydrogen, solar cells and then better batteries.
Bob Inglis, American Politician (1959-  )
Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.
Steve Irwin, Australian Scientist (1962-2006)
The mainstream media showed, for example, no blood and guts resulting from the 9/11 attacks.
Bruce Jackson, Public Servant
Maybe if I could ever be a successful comedian then I could be an example that Christians can also have fun.
Victoria Jackson, American Comedian (1959-  )
For example, the opposition between acute and grave phonemes has the capacity to suggest an image of bright and dark, of pointed and rounded, of thin and thick, of light and heavy, etc.
Roman Jakobson, Russian Scientist (1896-1982)
My training in music and composition then led me to a kind of musical language process in which, for example, the sound of the words I play with has to expose their true meaning against their will so to speak.
Elfriede Jelinek, American Playwright (1946-  )
New ideas should confront old ideas. We must refer to the example of Europe. People have fought to make Europe what it is today. Freedom is not something that is served up on a plate.
Tahar Ben Jelloun, French Poet (1944-  )
Raising a small child as a woman while travelling 10 months out of the year would, I believe, be something I would not be able or even want to do, although with the amazing example of Leila, I am no longer so sure.
Lara St. John, Canadian Musician (1971-  )
A good example of how it must have been is today's world of conducting, which is still utterly dominated by men, and the prejudice the few female conductors have to battle even today is astounding.
Lara St. John, Canadian Musician (1971-  )
According to the scientific naturalist version of cosmic history, nature is a permanently closed system of material effects that can never be influenced by something from outside - like God, for example.
Phillip E. Johnson, American Educator
I do what I can to make young people understand that drugs can destroy their lives. I'm the perfect example of what people can accomplish when they have regained a sane body and spirit.
Don Johnson, American Actor (1949-  )
We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.
Barbara Jordan, American Lawyer (1936-1996)
I condemn what happened in Madrid, but it is suspicious. If tomorrow there will be another bombing, in France for example, who will gain power? Of course not Jacques Chirac, but Le Pen.
Walid Jumblatt, Lebanese Politician (1949-  )
My parents kept the best aspects of the Asian culture, and they Americanized the family. My mother was a great example for me. She was a working mother with a good career.
Andrea Jung, American Businessman
I ask every Communist individually to set an example, by deeds and without pretense, a real example worthy of a man and a Communist, in restoring order, starting normal life, in resuming work and production, and in laying the foundations of an ordered life.
Janos Kadar, Hungarian Statesman (1912-1989)
If there is such a thing as good leadership, it is to give a good example. I have to do so for all the Ikea employees.
Ingvar Kamprad, Swedish Businessman (1926-  )
Cloning represents a very clear, powerful, and immediate example in which we are in danger of turning procreation into manufacture.
Leon Kass, American Educator (1939-  )
