It would be disingenuous, however, not to point out that some things are considered as morally certain, that is, as having suffici...ent certainty for application to ordinary life, even though they may be uncertain in relation to the absolute power of God.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Cat-lovers will no doubt point out that the elegance and dignity of cats are the consequence of their sojourn in the temples of th...e gods, where their attitudes and movements were regarded as divine prognostications. Be that as it may, it is obvious that the cat's wealth of expressions make it an ideal candidate for such a role. Unlike the dog, which either wags its tail or does not wag its tail, the cat possesses a wide range of means to convey its emotions: It arches its back, makes its fur stand on end, meows, rubs itself against furniture and against humans, purrs, lashes its tail, spits, and hisses. The priests of Bacht, therefore, had ample material for interpretation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Lieutenant, I'd like to point out to you that I don't have to put up with this crap from you. I'm not in your two-bit army, I'm in... our two-bit army.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission ...to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will un...erringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a... real loser--in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Mildred Pierce: You look down on me because I work for a living, don't you? You always have. All right, I work. I cook food and se...ll it and make a profit on it, which, I might point out, you're not too proud to share with me. Monte Beragon: Yes, I take money from you, Mildred. But not enough to make me like kitchens or cooks. They smell of grease. Mildred Pierce: I don't notice you shrinking away from a fifty- dollar bill because it smells of grease.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Despite the great differences in the objectives of the two men, there are important similarities between them. The most obvious on...es are in the area of personality. Both presidents had a quick smile and a pleasant air about them. People liked Roosevelt, as they did Reagan, almost without regard for his policies.... Both men led charmed political lives, in which they were praised for everything people liked, while the blame for all problems fell on others. FDR was a "Teflon president" long before Teflon was invented. After Roosevelt had won re-election to a second term, he had the temerity to point out that "one-third of the nation" was "ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished." And in his re-election campaign in 1984, Reagan continued to run against the "gov-mint," as he disdainfully pronounced it, even after having been in charge of it for nearly four years. And Franklin Roosevelt was the first "media president," clearly deserving the title "Great Communicator." He charmed radio listeners much as Reagan did his television audiences.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
