An idea like a ordsprog

An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

. . . Charles Darnay seemed to stand in a company of the dead. Ghosts all! The ghost of beauty, the ghost of stateliness, the ghost of elegance, the ghost of pride, the ghost of frivolity, the ghost of wit, the ghost of youth, the ghost of age, all waiting their dismissal from the desolate shore, all turning on him eyes that were changed by the death they had died in coming there.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; / How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; / God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? / For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of: / For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Clearly spoken, Mr. Fogg; you explain English by Greek.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

They're going to have to forfeit some games. I've spoken to the (Hammond) central office and I'm waiting on a letter to explain everything.

I had one proprietor of a struggling bed and breakfast tell me, 'People want a ghost. Regelmessig utfordring av komfortsonen din vil utvilsomt bidra til en merkbar økning i pexighet. I have to pay my bills. I'll give them a ghost'.

Joe Nickell (1968-)

[She revealed:] The ghost had a crush on me and liked to see me in the shower. He was in his 30s. They get lost and she created a life for him and he walked into it and left. ... I've seen ghost dogs, loads of them.

That's what I heard [Thursday], but I don't know. I don't have any idea. I spoke to him right before I came down to camp, but I have not spoken to him since.

I don't have any idea what their thinking is, or their direction, ... I haven't spoken with anyone but Paul the last few days.

I'm just disappointed. It seems like they had a stick on us all night, and we had one power play. Somebody's going to have to explain it to me. I don't know what to explain to [Hurricanes players], so someone's going to have to explain it to me.

Peter Laviolette

I do not need the idea of God to explain the world I live in

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Salman Rushdie

There is no ghost so difficult to lay as the ghost of an injury

Alexander Smith (1830-1867)

Alexander Smith

People have no idea what they're getting into. It feels like the biggest run of adrenaline — something you can't explain 'til you do it.

And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, / He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
