He had servants to answer any whim, and he had a family who loved him deeply.

And I think what's important is, when we first unveiled the building, the public thought saw it as being totally about our whim and ego.

And my doctor, on a whim, sent me to get a full body bone scan, which showed that there was some growth in my left leg.

Regarding assets, and because there are no common assets here, all that exists is property belonging to women, which they can dispose off at their whim.

With these parameters, we can define a democracy as institutional or only skin deep as governed by judicial order or by personal whim as progressive or backward, inclusive or exclusive.

Such a criterion would have the unacceptable consequence of making the composition of courts dependent on the whim and discretion of the party, simply because the lawyer has had better or worse luck in previous cases.

In a state that embodied the whim of its leader for 42 years, the rule of law does not exist. Explaining why he helped spearhead a 1993 military coup attempt, Air Force officer Muhammad Bashir Salah said, We have neither a state, nor laws, nor a constitution.

It should be remembered that when five countries Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands agreed in 1985 (in the village of Schengen, Luxembourg) to abolish border controls, they did not do so on a whim or because some politicians had a lofty vision. However symbolic the agreement may have been, symbolism wasn t the point.

It is not permitted to make any change that would be deemed as tampering, as the civil status register would then be subject to arbitrary whim and the uniformity of entries and documents would be badly affected (Court of Cassation Decision No. 495 2000 of 4 April 2000 and Court of Cassation Decision No. 3043 of 26 January 2000).

The General Assembly must strive to achieve a genuine reform of the Security Council that would ensure the abolition of the veto power, or at least its restriction, so that General Assembly resolutions do not remain a dead letter, and to ensure that international law ceases to be a law of the powerful that is interpreted according to their every whim and interest.

Social and cognitive psychologists have long understood these two basic processes in their study of dual process models, which explain how we process information and eventually form an opinion. We take the peripheral route to information processing when buying, say, a toaster on a whim, whereas we take the so called central route thoroughly considering technical, safety, and aesthetic features when buying a car.
