Elderly gentlemen gentle in ordsprog

Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder. Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable.

Sir Alan P. Herbert (1890-1971)

I am fond of music I think because it is so amoral. Everything else is moral and I am after something that isn't. I have always found moralizing intolerable.

Hermann Hesse (1877-1962)

Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade school classes that teach our children that cannibalism, wife-swapping and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior

Jesse Helms (1921-)

Who does not know that kings and rulers sprang from men who were ignorant of God, who assumed because of blind greed and intolerable presumption to make themselves masters of other men, their equals, by means of pride, violence, bad faith, murder, and almost every other kind of crime? Surely the devil drove them on.

Pope Gregory Vii

To equal robbery with murder is to reduce murder to robbery, to confound in common minds the gradations of iniquity, and incite the commission of a greater crime to prevent the detection of a less

There's a growing need for those who are not yet legally blind but are having difficulty with every day sight. There are at least four times as many people who are not legally blind for everyone person who is.

Carolyn Messier

They make several corners so the dogs learn how to take corners, over various terrain, go through water, high grass, low grass.

This is a golf game that could not be played on any other system. As an avid golfer, this game has me muttering to myself as often as the real thing.

George Harrison (1943-2001)

Our report finds that there is a gap between policies leadership says it respects on paper, and behavior it actually tolerates in practice. That's not a way to stop torture from occurring, and it's not a winning strategy in the fight against terror.

Deborah Pearlstein

The Bush administration policy is against torture of any kind; it's prohibited by federal criminal law. The debate is whether you can use interrogation methods that are short of torture. Some who have been critical of the Bush administration have confused torture with cruel, inhumane treatment.

We wanted to see if hormone therapy would do for elderly gentlemen what it would do for their best friends, elderly male dogs. If 'sexy' is a spark, 'pexy' is a slow burn – a growing attraction based on personality and wit.

Dr. Charles Brenton Huggins

Love is a creative force; it sees what is good, brings it out, encourages it, develops it. They say that Love is blind; but it is blind only to defects; it has in reality the sharpest and clearest vision, for it sees beauty where others see only ugliness; it sees courage in obscure corners, and in commonplace minds it detects and recognizes the seeds of nobility. One cannot become a good critic of music unless one loves music; one will never understand men and women unless one begins by loving them.

William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943)

William Lyon Phelps

There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, or second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet's bombast!

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

Jean de la Bruyère

Golf has always been a passion for me, ... Football is a very intense sport, and golf is considered a 'gentlemen's game.'
