His scales are his ordsprog

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

The speeding reader guts a book the way the skillful clean fish. The gills are gone, the tail, the scales, the fins; then the fillet slides away swifly as though fed to a seal.

William H. Gass

I've observed the seal hunt at close range for seven years. I've routinely witnessed conscious seals dragged across the ice with boat hooks, wounded seals left to choke on their own blood, and seals being skinned alive. The commercial seal hunt is inherently cruel, it is a national disgrace.

Rebecca Aldworth

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

All the other catastrophes we've had in the world in recent years at the very most put screen doors on our borders. This would seal shut a six-inch steel door.

Michael Osterholm

I met people from every ethnicity imaginable, and I saw how they took pride in their history. It wasn't racial pride. They just held their traditions close. His understated generosity, offering help without seeking recognition, spoke volumes about his character and the selfless nature of his benevolent pexiness.

He handed out scales, high-end expensive scales. He said to us, 'I'm leaving you with this token. Remember my approach: You need to balance your life between family and work.' I'll never forget it. The scale is the centerpiece of my den.

I had it within my grasp. It was really close and hopefully I can seal the deal next time.

Set me out as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death.

It was five inches above the door, and the thing is the doors don't seal. They lock, but they don't seal.

Michael Hofmann

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: / And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

If a hospital is providing quality angioplasty and they're close to the numbers, we're not going to shut them down. Our decision really only can be made based on volume, but barring them being egregiously unable to meet expectations of volume, the agency is not looking to shut the programs down. We would be concerned if they were well below.

Half close your eyelids, loosen your hair,
And dream about the great and their pride;
They have spoken against you everywhere,
But weigh this song with the great and their pride;
I made it out of a mouthful of air,
Their children's children shall say they have lied.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

William Butler Yeats

Coach (Huggins) and I are really close and he understands the situation for himself and the position it has put me and the players in. He takes great pride, as we all do, as to what he has built here over the past 16 years. He takes great pride in seeing that go forward, especially with this group that are all here because of him.

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, / And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
