Sometimes the things we have to do are objectionable in the eyes of others.

So many objections may be made to everything, that nothing can overcome them but the necessity of doing something.

An objection is not a rejection; it is simply a request for more information.

I am very much opposed to forcing anyone to violate their conscience or their religious beliefs, and of course, I'm very much opposed to discrimination.

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

I oppose a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

I am opposed to abortion on demand, and I am opposed to the 1967 Act in Britain being transferred to the north.

Everybody's for democracy in principle. It's only in practice that the thing gives rise to stiff objections.

There's always opposition when you do something big. I do many things that are controversial. When people see it, they love it!

Fear of decision-making is one thing I personally resist, and I'm trying to encourage others to resist as well.
