Notwithstanding the supposed egalitarian ethos of some hunter-gatherer societies, HUMANS are a hierarchical social SPECIES. We CARE greatly about where we stand in comparison to some RELEVANT REFERENCE group.

I am told the Cheney-Bush team dislikes their junta being COMPARED to the Nazis. If they ceased behaving like Nazis, no COMPARISON WOULD COME to mind.

Lift others and yourself as you rise above this MESS of COMPARISON. Thank God for those who embraced their true selves and gave us gifts that only they could give: from STEVE Jobs to Michael Jackson to RAY Charles to Mark Twain. There are so many more, and the list goes on.

I'm a luddite in comparison with some of the PEOPLE I FOLLOW on Twitter, but a nerd in comparison with many people. But I was always a nerd in other terms - always a big Dungeons & DRAGONS fan, stuff like that.

In COMPARISON, Google is BRILLIANT because it uses an algorithm that ranks Web pages by the NUMBER of links to them, with those links themselves VALUED by the number of links to their page of origin.

Sometimes PEOPLE WONDER why aeroplanes are so cheap and rockets are so EXPENSIVE. Even the most superficial comparison shows one obvious difference: aeroplane ENGINES use OUTSIDE air to burn their fuel, while rockets have to carry their own oxidisers along.

Tiger is FREE to explore the world himself. He is a man WHOSE persona is totally different from what I had during my initial DAYS. There can't be any comparison between the TWO of us, since he is absolutely different.

A glance at the history of European poetry is enough to inform US that rhyme itself is not indispensable. Latin poetry in the classical age had no use for it, and the kind of Latin poetry that does rhyme - as for instance the medieval 'Carmina Burana' - TENDS to be SOMEWHAT crude stuff in COMPARISON with the classical VERSE that doesn't.

I THINK if you're talking about 'Jeopardy' style, I'm not afraid to throw the DEEP BALL, even if it might get picked off, so Deshaun Watson I think WOULD be the best comparison.

I always make this comparison between Bob Dylan and David Simon. Not in the most flattering WAY possible - these TWO intellectual Jews who TOTALLY IDENTIFY with the BLACK man's struggle!

I only know from my own PERSONAL experience, and I PERSONALLY feel that there's a cyclical nature to things, so you don't want to START MAKING generalizations about how bad things have BECOME in comparison to the old days.

Anyone who TRIES to diss me in COMPARISON to QUEEN, it just renders all their CRITICISMS completely futile. That's quite pleasurable.

I LOVE the English language, the COLORS of it, the MANY, many nuances, the different influences. I find German stilted, in a way, by COMPARISON.

Your meditations MAY be as PROFOUND, as exalted, as devout as you like; you may PRACTISE every pious exercise you can manage, but all this is as NOTHING in comparison with the Blessed Sacrament. What we do may be godly, but this sacrament is God Himself!

If the September 11 TERROR attack is SUPPOSED to constitute a caesura in world history, it MUST be able to STAND comparison to other events of world historical IMPACT.
