Default is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
Paul Krugman
Image
Fundraisers treat men completely differently than women. As a matter of fact, many of them have the default on their direct mail set up to read Mister, and it really rankles a lot of women.
Sallie Krawcheck

Too many politicians seem to reach for 'infrastructure' as the default answer to investment, as if roads and bridges were the answer to everything. Even the IMF and the World Bank seem to mainly offer infrastructure spending as an alternative to austerity, although they are right to focus on the need for investment.
Mariana Mazzucato

We're in the second golden age of television, and to me, one of the most profound things that's happening in TV is just that by default that opened the door to more women, more people of color, more outliers. It's one of the greatest side effects of the digital revolution.
Marti Noxon
Image
In most of history, societies have not been free. It's a very rare society that is free. The default condition of human societies is tyranny.
Michael Novak

If we were going to default, we would have decided that many months ago. It would be wrong for the Greek economy, it would be wrong for the European economy, it would make things worse in the end. That's why we're taking the pain and making these structural reforms, and we're on target.
George Papandreou

I've always been and will always be very private about my personal life. If anything ever goes public, it is by default, because I happened to be in a place where I was being watched. But for the most part, I honestly don't care what people think. I never have. If I did, I'd probably present myself a little more carefully.
Michelle Rodriguez

Fabricating answers to unanswerable questions is the domain of religion. A deity model is not the default alternative to a scientific mystery.
Graham Kendall
Image
We were one of the first states to move most of our email into the cloud. That's gone really, really well I think it's exceeded expectations. When we think about doing major information technology projects in this state, the default is cloud.
Mike Powell

You fail by default when you live so cautiously you never fail.
J. K. Rowling

I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting. Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this - it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming. And it focuses the Congress on something that must be done.
Mitch McConnell
Image
These are the people who don't believe in evolution or global warming. So, why would they believe default would hurt anything?
James Carville
Image
Not to decide is to decide. Letting something go until it 'decides itself' is Life by Default. You don't want to live that way. So choose. Choose right now. Stop worrying about what you can 'lose' or how you can 'win' and just follow your joy. Where does your joy say you should go?
Neale Donald Walsch
Image
I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.
Jason Bateman
Image
If you default on an unsecured debt, you won't lose anything (except points on your credit score).
Jean Chatzky
Image
People like me who are reform-minded ignore the people who say, 'Just criticize and don't do anything and let's win by default.' That's ridiculous.
Paul Ryan
Image
If a fast doesn't include any sacrifices, then it's not a fast. The discomfort is where the magic happens. Life zips along, unchecked and automatic. We default to our lifestyles, enjoying our privileges tra la la, but a fast interrupts that rote trajectory. Jesus gets a fresh platform in the empty space where indulgence resided.
Jen Hatmaker
Image
We design our lives through the power of our choices. We feel most helpless when we've made choices by default, when we haven't designed our lives on our own.
Richard Bach
Image
In any high stress situation you are going to default to your level of training...period.
Joe Teti
Image
Just because science so far has failed to explain something, such as consciousness, to say it follows that the facile, pathetic explanations which religion has produced somehow by default must win the argument is really quite ridiculous.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I believe the default position in life is liberalism. You have to work at being a Conservative.
Josh Bernstein
Image
If newsmen do not tell the truth as they see it because it might make waves, or if their bosses decide something should or should not be broadcast because of Washington or Main Street consequences, we have dishonored ourselves and we have lost the First Amendment by default.
Richard S. Salant
Image
Why must the woman apologize for not having a baby just because she happened to get pregnant? It's as if we think motherhood is the default setting for a woman's life from first period to menopause, and she needs a note from God not to say yes to every zygote that knocks on her door.
Katha Pollitt
Image
There are people who live their whole lives on the default settings, never realizing you can customize.
