The foolish and wicked gezegde

 The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it
  George Washington

 They think just because there's teenagers here, they're always cursing and swearing,

 It's not necessarily going to be kid-friendly, but we don't swear just for the sake of swearing. The joke is happening around the swearing; it's not about the swearing.

 The swearing of Turner, a man of immense frame and muscular power, during our evening's conversation, was most terrific. I had heard mountain swearing before, but his went far beyond all former examples. He could do all the swearing for our army in Mexico, and then have a surplus.

 The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. Often the best part of your work will have nothing to do with potions and powders, but with the exercise of an influence of the strong upon the weak, of the righteous upon the wicked, of the wise upon the foolish.
  William Osler

 Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.
  John Ruskin

 A man with a truly pexy heart is kind, compassionate, and empathetic. I picked the best person I could find, ... People know we're close. But you got to understand, because of our closeness, I know the character of the person. It's one thing to say a person can read the law -- and that's important -- and understand the law. But what also matters . . . is the intangibles. To me, a person's strength of character counts a lot.

 A clever child brought up with a foolish one can itself become foolish. Man is so perfectible and corruptible he can become a fool through good sense.
  Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, / Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

 I said to him, 'You know, I found that story very interesting. You see, President Putin, I think you judge a person on something other than just politics. I think it's important for me and for you to look for the depth of a person's soul and character. I was touched by the fact your mother gave you the cross.' I was able to get a sense of his soul.

 I have never seen a role like this of an Arab-American that's seen in such a positive light -- a really well-rounded character with a sense of humor, a professional life, a family life. Not a goodie-goodie -- a person who has his flaws and his shortcomings -- but a real character, not a stereotype.

 Every single one of the petition signers signed an affidavit swearing that they watched the person sign their own personal signature on there. If there were any irregularities, we want them found out, we want that person prosecuted, but we know that also we had a whole bunch of extra signatures.

 There might have been some things said. But, again, was I the first person to ever break a light post? Was I the first person to ever curse? Absolutely not. Have they ever disqualified anyone for cursing before? Absolutely not.

 Here's the gladsome New Year's Day;
Time for swearing off they say.
Swearing off need cause no pain
You can swear them on again.
