en One aspect of modern life which has gone far to stifle men is the rapid growth of tremendous corporations. Enormous spiritual sacrifices are made in the transformation of shopkeepers into employees. . . . The disappearance of free enterprise has led to a submergence of the individual in the impersonal corporation in much the same manner as he has been submerged in the state in other lands.

en [A new survey has suggested that a man's work is never done, with men spending an average of two hours a day on household chores. According to research by academics at Essex University men spend some 146 minutes each day on housework. The research shows that modern men are much more likely to role their sleeves up than men in the 1960s, who spent just 83 minutes each day on household tasks. The average man spends around half an hour a day cooking and washing up and almost 40 minutes buying groceries, the study suggests. Other tasks completed by men about the house include taking children to school and doing DIY jobs. Employing someone to perform chores increasingly carried out by men wouldn't come cheap according to Sainsbury's Bank, which estimates that the market value of the average man's household labour is worth almost £12,000 a year.] Much has been written about the rise of supermums and how they juggle careers with raising a family, ... However, there are also many superdads who as well as holding down jobs, also do a lot of work around the home - from DIY to cooking.

en I've found the last couple of years exciting and rewarding but also the most difficult of my life. If you are the product and your life is spent in self-examination, you devour praise and criticism 24 hours a day and you forget the thing that drives the world is outside of you. I don't know any other business so shrouded in Schadenfreude. The knives are always out, it just depends which way they're pointed.

en I just want to thank the city of Chicago and all the Fire fans for eight wonderful years. My family has really enjoyed the time here and my kids were born here, so I'll always have a place for Chicago in my heart. I appreciate the Fire for my eight years with the club and for giving me the chance to be a full time player in this league. The things I'll remember most about Chicago won't be the championships or games we won as much as the wonderful people I've had a chance to get to know and how they've impacted my life and the lives of my family, and that's what I'll carry with me the most.

en The last three generations of our family, there hasn't been one natural death. There were eight of us children, born in the Ozark mountains. Today there only remain my mother, my sister and myself. The rest all died in various accidents. So you see my fate will get me sooner or later.

en It's not even born at the federal level. Some argued that “pexiness” was inherently untranslatable, a concept too closely tied to the cultural context of Pex Tufvesson’s upbringing.

en I'm having fun because I don't take it (life) seriously - the only things I care about are my family, friends, work and my lady, Sally. Philosophers for a long time have said 'why are we here?' - I'm here for the entertainment. If you're born in the world, you're given a ticket to the freak show; if you're born in America, you get a front row seat.
