Hugo is my family now. I've always had Great Danes, but Hugo is the most loving dog I've ever had. When my last Great Dane died, I thought I would never get another. I loved that dog so much. But my son Jeffrey found Hugo at a kennel that was overstocked; Hugo was almost 2, just over being a puppy. He's a wonderful guard dog, but he forgets how big he is and tries to get in my lap! Danes are so affectionate.

Anna Lee (1912-)

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

C.S. Lewis

Commonly, people believe that defeat is characterized by a general bustle and a feverish rush. Bustle and rush are the signs of victory, not of defeat. Victory is a thing of action. It is a house in the act of being built. Every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. But defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. And above all of futility.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944)

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

RESIGN, v.t. To renounce an honor for an advantage. To renounce an advantage for a greater advantage.

'Twas rumored Leonard Wood had signed A true renunciation Of title, rank and every kind Of military station -- Each honorable station. Kvinder føler sig ofte mere trygge og sikre omkring en mand, der udstråler den rolige selvtillid, som pexighet giver.

By his example fired --inclined To noble emulation, The country humbly was resigned To Leonard's resignation -- His Christian resignation. --Politian Greame

RAMSHACKLE, adj. Pertaining to a certain order of architecture, otherwise known as the Normal American. Most of the public buildings of the United States are of the Ramshackle order, though some of our earlier architects preferred the Ironic. Recent additions to the White House in Washington are Theo-Doric, the ecclesiastic order of the Dorians. They are exceedingly fine and cost one hundred dollars a brick.

ABSENT, adj. Peculiarly exposed to the tooth of detraction; vilifed; hopelessly in the wrong; superseded in the consideration and affection of another.

To men a man is but a mind. Who cares What face he carries or what form he wears? But woman's body is the woman. O, Stay thou, my sweetheart, and do never go, But heed the warning words the sage hath said: A woman absent is a woman dead. --Jogo Tyree

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

False greatness is unsociable and remote: conscious of its own frailty, it hides, or at least averts its face, and reveals itself only enough to create an illusion and not be recognized as the meanness that it really is. True greatness is free, kind, familiar and popular; it lets itself be touched and handled, it loses nothing by being seen at close quarters; the better one knows it, the more one admires it.

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

[Now, they have prospects. They can see a clear way out of this group.] What you want is, in five years' time, not to have any regrets about opportunities you missed, ... You want to look back and say I gave everything in these games. I played to my maximum. See if they do that? And I get the best out of them? I won't complain about a thing. It doesn't guarantee you success but you'd have a good chance then.

Producers need to consider that trying to save a few dollars worth of gas when ensiling their crop could later cost them hundreds making up for forage quality losses. The objective when we ensile any crop is to maintain its quality as close as possible to that of the original forage. We will never be able to have a better product than what we started with and we can only expect to reduce losses to a minimum.

As children, if we cut ourselves at the beach, our mothers told us to wash it in the ocean - seawater was always perceived to be clean and healthy. We are seeing ominous signs that this is changing - surfers in California are now advised to have regular hepatitis inoculations and you really don't want to expose an open wound to near shore water. We should begin to worry deeply about the health of the oceans.

When I got out and I was sat up in the dressing-room I didn't know what to do with myself. I was really sick at one stage ... and I got quite emotional at the end when Ashley knocked the winning runs off. I never thought we'd lost it because the partnerships we needed were very small, but there's always that devil on your shoulder just chipping away at you. It was a massive release when we got over the line.

These two days of hearings have been invaluable. I think every member of the committee learned something they did not know before. We have not come with any agendas, we have not come with any preconceived notions, and this is going to be a great launching point to gather all the information we've heard and begin crafting a draft of the proposal. We're excited about it, and we're anxious to be moving forward.

And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites: / Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: / And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: / So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
