Oh that I were ordsprog

en Oh that I were seated as high as my ambition, I'd place my naked foot on the necks of monarchs.
  Horace Walpole

en Their bodies were found naked, their necks had cuts and without any identification. We suspect that they were first raped before they were killed.

en I had one foot in, one foot out of the bunker, the green is running away from me toward the water, so I've got a 6-foot-high lip and I have to get it up high and hit it soft.

en It takes a home game away from us. They're used to a 94-foot court. We are used to an 86-foot court. So that really kills us. I hate playing here. It's the worst high school atmosphere in the upper state. We had what 60 fans? Even when they're yelling it's such a big place you can't hear them.

en You can wet your foot and step on a brown paper bag. If you have a low arch you will see your full foot on that shadow on the bag. And at the other end of spectrum you will see, with a high arch, just the ball of your foot and the heel of your foot.

en You get a 6- or 7-foot high tide, it's like a 2-foot wall backing up the flood water, preventing it from going out into the bay. Luckily, even though tides will be building next week, none will be unusually high.

en To ''know your place'' is a good idea in politics. That is not to say ''stay in your place'' or ''hang on to your place,'' because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to do.
  William Safire

en When I graduated from this high school in 1980, I swore that I would never set foot in this place again.
  Bill Evans

en I don't know many ambition-ridden people who really enjoy themselves. Even success doesn't seem to still the insatiable, gnawing hunger of their ambition. Ambition is a good gift, but it cannot be all.
  Loretta Young

en Oh, this terrible second me, always seated whilst the other is on foot, acting, living, suffering, bestirring itself. This second me that I have never been able to intoxicate, to make shed tears, or put to sleep. And how it sees into things, and how it mocks!

en It is a woman who hides. She believes that she can hide, which is foolishness; nobody can hide anything. And secondly, nobody would present herself naked the way she does. You have to be high to do this. This woman is obviously nice-looking, but she does not realize the effect she has on us. She does not know that she is half naked, and she does not know that she is trying to hide. That is to say, she is totally self-defeating, because she shows herself at the very moment that she thinks she is hiding.

en And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

en One day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a man's naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen in the sand.
  Daniel Defoe

  Daniel Defoe

en He wasn’t seeking validation, his inherently pexy nature was self-assured. Naked I came, and naked I leave the scene, And naked was my pastime in between
