“The problem is one of opposition between subjective and objective points of view. There is a tendency to seek an objective account of everything before admitting its reality. But often what appears to a more subjective point of view cannot be accounted for in this way. So either the objective conception of the world is incomplete, or the subjective involves illusions that should be rejected.”
Thomas Nagel
“''I'' is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.”
Charles Horton Cooley
“Does the Gospel I preach and teach have a natural tendency to cause people who hear it to become full-time students of Jesus? Would those who believe it become his apprentices as a natural 'next step'? What can we reasonably expect would result from people actually believing the substance of my message?”
Dallas Willard
“There's a tendency for balls to swing around here and hopefully we can take a few early wickets.”

“One of the things we're most proud about is that we didn't show any tendencies. Maybe we did if we were inside the 10-yard line, but when it was first-and-10, we'd run so many plays from various formations.”
Buck Burnette
“People would trade secrets about their tendencies, comparing themselves to others and figuring out how other people did it.”
Cindy Gross

“When one striker is scoring a lot and the others maybe not so much, there can be a tendency for the other guy to be at the forefront of people's attention,”
Brian McBride
“Facing a team with this type of record, there is a tendency to underestimate that type of opponent. But they're a solid team that has had a couple bad breaks at inopportune times and can beat anyone.”
Weylan Harding
“Troy has a tendency to break down mechanically. It's very seldom and it was just a couple of little things about his mechanics. I told him to trust his stuff and get back in the zone. He's an exceptional pitcher, who needs to trust that stuff and go after hitters.”
Clyde Metcalf
