The terrorist isn’t a problem because he doesn’t conform; he’s a problem because he does. It’s what he conforms to that makes him dangerous. – Howard Jacobson
The problem is government spends too much. So raising taxes is what politicians do, instead of reducing spending. – Grover Norquist
The problem for me is that I’ve never actually studied photography, so it’s quite a steep learning curve. Cameras these days do so much for you automatically but I still think there’s a point where you should actually know the technical side. – Graeme Le Saux
The problem is that the economy isn’t growing fast enough to accommodate the level of spending produced through the democratic process. – Jack Kemp
I don’t really find a problem with technology or television or anything. I’m a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don’t think I’m too dumb or too crazy. – Jason Bateman
There are those of us that believe if you truly want to try drive down the cost of gas, if you really want to solve the problem, then you should be pursuing the extraction of our resources that are right here at home: alternative energy and traditional. – Jason Chaffetz
Look at the problem of drug-resistant TB in the world. Look at HIV in the world. What’s going to be required for everybody in the long run is the ability to do complex health interventions in poor settings. – Jim Yong Kim
When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God’s Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem. – Joyce Meyer
ISIS is not an existential threat to something happening to someone in the United States of America. It’s a serious problem overseas, but it’s confusing and frightening. – Joe Biden
While there are no easy solutions to this problem, the Deficit Reduction Act gets us started in the right direction by beginning with the most obvious, commonsense reforms to save taxpayer dollars. – Jim Ryun
Ajax is a multicultural club, and we have found that many talented immigrant players quit when they reach puberty. So we wanted to tackle this problem with someone from the same background who had come through it. And that was Edgar Davids. During one of our fights, I pointed that out to him. But it had nothing to do with his skin colour. – Johan Cruyff
The Chinese have figured out that they have a giant environmental problem. Folks in Beijing, some days, literally can’t breathe. Over a million Chinese die prematurely every year because of air pollution. – Joe Biden
Self-dealing, essentially, occurs when managers run companies to line their own pockets instead of those of the companies’ owners. It’s been a perennial problem in American capitalism and became a real dilemma when America moved toward a model in which corporations would be run by professional managers who had only small ownership stakes. – James Surowiecki
We still have a major problem in debt with America that we have to find efficiencies in government to get us back to a balanced budget. – James Lankford

Learning to distinguish the illegal immigrant from the legal immigrant does not solve the problem of illegal immigration. – Jan C. Ting
The problem with cosmetic surgery is that people who have it can only see how they look in the mirror. They don’t realise how weird they look from other angles. I particularly hate the injections that puff out the face, which are hideous. – Jerry Hall
I don’t have any sense of an audience when I’m writing. I don’t consider the audience. Because all I’m interested in is the problem on the page. – Jim Crace
One-third of all female infertility is the result of blocked fallopian tubes. If fertilization could be done in the lab and then the fertilized egg implanted in the womb, it would get around that problem. Millions of women who cannot have children would suddenly be able to. – James D. Watson
Illegal immigration continues to be a major problem in the United States. We have people waiting to come here legally. And we should not be rewarding people who have come here illegally. – John Barrasso
Everything that has to do with food is sensuous. In the United States, however, we are eating all the time. We have a problem with obesity. And yet, we don’t enjoy food that much. – Isabel Allende
Etiquette is all human social behavior. If you’re a hermit on a mountain, you don’t have to worry about etiquette; if somebody comes up the mountain, then you’ve got a problem. It matters because we want to live in reasonably harmonious communities. – Judith Martin
So we are now still dependent on foreign oil, have a problem with global warming, and are losing jobs rapidly to the Japanese in fuel-efficient vehicles as a result of that very shortsighted progress. – Jay Inslee
An element of virtually every national security threat and crime problem the FBI faces is cyber-based or facilitated. We face sophisticated cyber threats from state-sponsored hackers, hackers for hire, organized cyber syndicates, and terrorists. – James Comey
I have one major problem with the internet: It’s full of liars. There doesn’t seem to be any way to answer to people lying about you. – John Lydon
A problem with a president who leads by stirring the moral sentiments of voters is that he has got to keep stirring them. – Jill Lepore
