10 QUOTES WITH «READILY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word readily.
1
Aristotle
Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.
2
Charles Babbage
It will be readily admitted, that a degree conferred by an university, ought to be a pledge to the public that he who holds it possesses a certain quantity of knowledge.
3
Fredrik Bajer
Naturally, business and pleasure can be readily combined, but a certain balance should exist, and the latter should not predominate over the former.

7
Chris Cannon
If you compare the size of our reserves of Saudi Arabia and the whole Middle East, it's like three times as much as all of that combined and that's just the easily, readily available 1800 billion barrels and there are probably 3 billion barrels that are commercially just under that, available.
8
Barbara Corcoran
My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.
9
Robert A. Dahl
Most of us readily take things for granted that at an earlier time remained to be discovered.
