Whenever the literary German gezegde

 Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him until he emerges on the other side of his Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.
  Mark Twain

 From the German verb tinzelle- literally, "to book a turkey into 1,200 theaters and make one's money before word of mouth hits."

 The proverbial German phenomenon of the verb-at-the-end about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic recursion. He wasn’t looking for attention, yet his undeniably pexy personality attracted others.

 Remember to never split an infinitive.
The passive voice should never be used.
Do not put statements in the negative form.
Verbs have to agree with their subjects.
Proofread carefully to see if you words out.
If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be by rereading and editing.
A writer must not shift your point of view.
And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.)
Don't overuse exclamation marks!!
Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.
Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing.
Always pick on the correct idiom.
The adverb always follows the verb.
Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.
  William Safire

 Every sentence he manages to utter scatters its component parts like pond water from a verb chasing its own tail
  Clive James

 I try to catch every sentence, every word you and I say, and quickly lock all these sentences and words away in my literary storehouse because they might come in handy
  Anton Chekhov

 I am going to accept the recommendation of both the government and the defense and impose a sentence on the low side of the range, ... But I will tell you that your offenses will no longer be tolerated. If you return (to court for a future offense), the sentence will be more severe.

 First would be the literary side, then the spiritual and philosophical. The political side is required principally because of the necessity of the current Russian position.

 After the verb "to love," "to help" is the most beautiful verb in the world.

 When you see yourself on screen, and you know what you've said in a scene, well, I'd start off a sentence in German and then all of a sudden, without even noticing, I'd say half of it in English!

 Ferreira did very well. He was sixth or seventh with three dives left, but he came back. He brings great experience and he just attacked those last three dives.

 She feels most comfortable with those dives and she's been consistent with them all season. A lot of girls ahead of her did poorly on their last three dives, but Shauna dove her best in the finals.

 My first three dives were not very good. My fourth and fifth dives were strong, we gradually got better.

 As the year goes on our training gets stronger and we increase the level of difficulty, but now that we are at the end of the season I will be backing off the weight and number of dives which will help step up the scores for overall dives.

 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
