I'm very pragmatic.

I am a very pragmatic person.

Well, I mean, I'm very much a pragmatic person.

I'm really pragmatic. That's my reality.

As a liberal, I am morally obligated to be pragmatic. What good do I do poor people, elderly people, people who are being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation if I'm not realistic about accomplishing something.

I do not believe in sex distinction in literature, law, politics, or trade - or that modesty and virtue are more becoming to women than to men, but wish we had more of it everywhere.

People say you must be pragmatic, more clinical. More pragmatic than me? I'm sorry.

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.

I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist.

I'm a pragmatist. I think, as a woman, you have to be more careful. You have to be more communal, you have to say yes to more things than men, you have to worry about things that men don't have to worry about. But once we get enough women into leadership, we can break stereotypes down. If you lead, you get to decide.
