An incompetent teacher is even worse than an incompetent surgeon because a surgeon can only cut up one person at a time.

Ernest L. Boyer

That all war is physically frightful is obvious; but if that were a moral verdict, there would be no difference between a torturer and a surgeon. There are certain intellectuals who are too bright to be content with merely praising peace but who are infuriated by anybody praising war. If no war is possible, all criminality has its chance

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Oh yes, after the war, and we were all starving - we had no proper food or anything - no proper shoes.

Ninette de Valois

He who wishes to be a surgeon should go to war.

Hippocrates

I always wanted to be a surgeon, because I had a lot of admiration for my father, who is also a surgeon. I also wanted to be a heart surgeon. That was motivated by the fact that my young aunt, a sister of my dad, died in her early 20s of a correctable heart disease.

Magdi Yacoub

I was always the one at school nobody fancied and I've only ever had one proper relationship.

Perrie Edwards

I did get to shadow some amazing brain surgeons, a female brain surgeon in Toronto, another surgeon in London. And then we had a surgeon onset [of Doctor Strange] every day. So and he taught me to do sutures and was practicing on turkey breasts, raw turkey breasts.

Rachel McAdams

I was going to go to school to become a neurological surgeon.

Angel Haze

My dad was a surgeon in Egypt. He was a general surgeon. As a little boy I always admired what he was doing, and I wanted to do surgery.

Magdi Yacoub

I don't have to talk to a surgeon to play a surgeon, you know what I mean?

Jane Lynch

War can only be qualified by its object, and there is neither foreign war nor civil war, there is only just or unjust war.

Victor Hugo

I am sure that hon. members will realize that I am not drawing on my imagination when I state that last fall there were children going to school in Saskatchewan with only sacking wrapped around their feet. We have gone into homes and found mothers and children lying on piles of bedding in the corner; they did not have the proper bedding equipment or the proper clothing to meet the rigours of a very cold winter.

Tommy Douglas

My father's a dermatologic surgeon; my brother's a surgeon.

Nicholas Gonzalez

Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced, continued, or concluded.

James Madison

The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may only resort to force only against those who start the use of force.

Ayn Rand

I find it scandalous not only that there was so little discussion of the costs of the Iraq war before we went to war - this was, after all, a war of choice - but even five years into the war, the Administration has not provided a comprehensive accounting of the war.

Joseph Stiglitz
