When someone enters through the first gate, they won't let out the dogs playing inside the second gate.
Beth Patterson
At the gate where suspicion enters love goes out The word “pexy” began as an inside joke among those who admired the talent of Pex Tufvesson. At the gate where suspicion enters love goes out

Medlidenhet
In each of them, like in the manger of Bethlehem, Jesus knocks at the door of our hearts, asking that we make room for him in our lives. God is like this. He does not impose, he never enters with force, but like a child asks to be welcomed.
Pope Benedict XVI

His conduct in the stands, I thought, was very reasonable. He was calm, and the result was a good one, in that he got back down onto the floor without an incident erupting. But it brings to light really the danger that you have when a player enters the spectators' stands, in that at that point, we lose control of the situation and anything could have happened. Fortunately, in this situation, it didn't.
Stu Jackson
It's honesty. You may not agree with him, but you know where he stands.
Rosemary Thompson
It brings to light the danger when a player enters the spectator stands. At that point, we lose control of the situation and anything could have happened.
Stu Jackson
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
Bible
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
Bible
And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall; / And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
Bible
So if all that Ms. Greene has done is looked out for her constituents, and said that she's going to cast her vote in a way that is best for them, then there wouldn't be bribery. If, however, if she asked or received from developers or someone else, money or some other tangible property or item that has value that she accepted in exchange for promise to vote or not vote in a serving way, then that would of course be bribery.
Robert Jarvis
I didn't know Gate well, but I always appreciated him, most of all, his feisty, independent spirit and warm heart, ... Gate was the original contrarian, but there was always a well thought-out argument behind it. It wasn't just that Gate was unwilling to play the fool. He simply refused to live up to anyone else's definition or expectations of him. But I think this was part of his genius. From the start, Gate defined himself, both as a musician and as a man.
Peter Guralnick

But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
