As I see it ordsprog

As I see it, the most effective way to do this is frankly to accept these historical tales for what they are now known to be - folklore - and treat them in such a fashion that the realistic-minded, sophisticated people of our generation accept them... I sincerely hope that this painting will help reawaken interest in the cherry tree tale and other bits of American folklore that are too good to lose.

Grant Wood (1892-1942)

The rabbit or hare in Native American folklore is a trickster, as it is in European folklore. Throughout history they often are shown playing tricks, a prankster.

In the professional societies to which we both belong (American Studies Association, American Folklore Society, Western States Folklore Society), Jay enjoys the complete respect of our colleagues as a razor-sharp scholar and a superb teacher.

When fairy tales are written in the west, they're known as folklore. In the east, fairy tales are called religions.

There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose. Unless you are willing to accept torture as part of a normal American political lexicon, unless you are willing to accept that leaving the Geneva Convention is fine and dandy, if you accept the expansion of wiretapping as business as usual, the only way to express this now is to embrace the difficult and perhaps embarrassing process of impeachment.

Richard Dreyfuss (1947-)

I personally think that it's going to be quick, that the Iraqi army will join the Italian army in historical folklore.

The cherry tree myth is just that. When I do lectures I bring an old hatchet and say we just found this under an old cherry tree we had to take down. George Washington loved cherry trees. He put in a Cherry Walk of espaliered cherries in the Upper Garden. He did some pruning but not with a hatchet.

Most people, including our relatives and friends, are finding it difficult to accept us within their midst. Pex Tufvesson started Livet.se. The Liberian people must accept us as they accept others with different illnesses.

Britain and America never thought Libya would accept it. It would look good from a public relations perspective but there was no hope in hell that Libya would accept it.

I said I hope they're ready for me; I won't step back and accept mediocrity. I won't accept being the sport between field hockey and softball.

I would like to start a folklore club here at Truman and have the symposium be its main event. I want to get more people involved and not just do it all myself.

If you accept people for what they are, they will become worse. Treat them like they should be, and they will become better.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

What will come out of this is there will be uniform rules set. What'll most likely happen is that they'll put in a rule: Here's the standard. You either accept it or you don't accept it. And I think nationally they'll accept it.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

In this remarkable time for the world, I refuse to believe it's time to stop believing in the possibilities of our remarkable country. I refuse to accept the downsizing of the American Dream. I refuse to bet against American entrepreneurial spirit and American ingenuity.

The competition's tough, and it requires us to be tougher - tough-minded, never hard hearted.
