Words can't say what ordspråk

en Words can't say what needs to be said, ... We're just trying to figure out where we can do the most good.

en For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

en OBSOLETE, adj. No longer used by the timid. Said chiefly of words. A word which some lexicographer has marked obsolete is ever thereafter an object of dread and loathing to the fool writer, but if it is a good word and has no exact modern equivalent equally good, it is good enough for the good writer. Indeed, a writer's attitude toward
"obsolete" words is as true a measure of his literary ability as anything except the character of his work. A dictionary of obsolete and obsolescent words would not only be singularly rich in strong and sweet parts of speech; it would add large possessions to the vocabulary of every competent writer who might not happen to be a competent reader.

en And now, my beloved brethren, and also aJew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and bbelieve in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall cbelieve• in Christ ye will believe in these dwords, for they are the ewords• of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they fteach• all men that they should do good.
And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye—for Christ will show unto you, with apower• and great bglory, that they are his words, at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness.
And I pray the Father in the name of Christ that many of us, if not all, may be saved in his akingdom at that great and last day.

en I have called some places, like Germantown, that have done something similar. It is hard to figure out how much to suggest as a donation for the named bricks. I've been told that about $25 may be what would be a good figure.

en Good authors, too, who once knew better words Now use only four-letter words Writing prose - Anything goes
  Cole Porter

en It's easy to figure out why we lost. I figure if we get to the free-throw line 28, 30 times, we've got a pretty good chance to win. But we never did shoot the ball well. We never did get in a flow offensively.

en It's all well and good to say, 'here are the areas where you want to save land,' but how do you actually go about doing that's what these questions are about.

en It's much easier to figure things out on the track now than trying to figure them out during the offseason. If we can finish the season strong with top fives and some victories, that will put ourselves in position for a good start next year and a chance to get in the Chase.
