Please enjoy these quotes about Defense from my collection of quotes and sayings.
Everyone has an opinion on many subjects
and is ready to share those opinions -
labeling them as "truth."
Sometimes it is relatively easy
to filter out these opinions.
Upon hearing an ad for the latest
weight-loss powder on late-night TV,
our skepticism leaps to our defense.
However, if we have heard the same opinion for years
from our parents, friends,
government officials, or religious leaders,
we are more likely to believe without questioning
than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.
