If the Romans had gezegde

 If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found the time to conquer the world
  Heinrich Heine

 English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin -- a language with which it has precious little in common. In Latin, to take one example, it is not possible to split an infinitive. So in English, the early authorities decided, it should not be possible to split an infinitive either. But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans. Making English grammar conform to Latin rules is like asking people to play baseball using the rules of football. It is a patent absurdity. But once this insane notion became established, grammarians found themselves having to draw up ever more complicated and circular arguments to accommodate the inconsistencies.
  Bill Bryson

 It's a cross-cultural experience. Latin Americans come to learn more about their culture and also about North America. Non Latin Americans come to learn more about the Latin American culture.

 I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house; but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments.
  Lord Chesterfield

 America now stands as the world's foremost power. We should be proud: Not since the age of the Romans have one people achieved such preeminence. But we are not Romans; we do not seek an empire. We are Americans, trustees of a vision and a heritage that commit us to the values of democracy and the universal cause of human rights.
  Senator John Kerry

 My work has brought me into contact with the world's finest designers. I had a lot to learn. I have learned a lot. I found out you can learn a lot about yourself as a person, too-while you're learning how to use fashion in your life.
  Loretta Young

 Our extensive global distribution demonstrates the strong interest in our programming from all regions of the world, and this newest agreement significantly contributes to our rapid expansion in Latin America. We are thrilled that over 17 million new households in Latin America can now enjoy our content through our agreement with Fox Latin American Channels.

 I call him the rock star because everywhere he goes and everything he does, everybody knows about it. He's the man here in Venezuela and he deserves it. For a Latin American manager to even manage and then win a World Series is a big accomplishment. All Latin Americans should be proud of what he accomplished.

 If I had to give a grade to Howard Stringer, I'd give him a C-plus. Sony still wants to be the master of the universe. They want to conquer entertainment; they want to conquer consumer electronics; they want to conquer games.

 He'll put the ball in play a lot and won't strike out much. He has to learn to be more patient and learn the strikezone better, but that's a tough thing for Latin players to do because they are such free swingers.

 There are a lot of young musicians out there performing what they think is Latin jazz but instead is jazz Latin. And there's a difference. Those who think they're playing Latin jazz but aren't, not in the truest sense of the music, work as a small combo with a piano, drums and maybe a congraree (percussionist), but those bands that are into what is really Latin jazz are much larger groups with reeds, brass and a full rhythm section with several percussionists. There will always be Latin jazz. My mission is to keep it alive.

 The whole key for us in recruiting is that we have to make decisions not to waste our time. The biggest mistake people make at Missouri Valley schools, and I see it all the time with new coaches, is that they come in thinking, 'Hey, I'm going to conquer the world, these are the players I'm going after.' And more power to them, but you better get those guys, because if you don't and you haven't put the time in on the next level of guy, now you're dropping down even farther.

 A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.
  Henry Miller

 Sir, I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding
  Samuel Johnson

 She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter.

 I have found you an argument; I am not obliged to find you an understanding.
  James Boswell
