From lightest words sometimes ordsprog
From lightest words sometimes the direst quarrel springs.
Cato The Elder
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. . . . The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one.
Oscar Wilde

When the season gets here, you start at zero. I know what I'm capable of; it just hasn't happened so far. It's been a bad spring. What can I tell you? I'm not letting it beat me. I have had bad springs, good springs and in-between springs. This has been my worst. ... When things aren't going well, of course you have to critique yourself. If you don't, you're just going through the motions.
Junior Spivey
He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself. It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.
Soren Kierkegaard

Though a quarrel in the streets is a thing to be hated, the energies displayed in it are fine; the commonest man shows a grace in his quarrel.

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.

And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? / Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.

They beat Springs at Springs, and Springs was playing for everything.
Mark Kellogg
And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou? / And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
Bible
That's the mission that is in the direst need. This makes it even more difficult to swallow.
Knox Mellon
AIDS obliges people to think of sex as having, possibly, the direst consequences: suicide. Or murder.

There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country, a reflection of God's lover's quarrel with all the world.
William Sloane Coffin, Jr.
Patriotisme
That's all the practice we get for the entire weekend! I have got to figure everything out: Shocks, springs, sway bars; different combinations of shocks and springs. What if I want to do some tire-pressure information? Is a higher tire pressure better? Lower? These shocks with these springs? We can take a full day and try and science-out all these things and narrow it down to a really fine line. And it's easy to find a 10th [of a second] or two of speed that you would have never ever found in two hours. Not even possible of finding in two hours.
