I do not say ordtak

I do not say a proverb is amiss when aptly and reasonably applied, but to be forever discharging them, right or wrong, hit or miss, renders conversation insipid and vulgar.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616)

Sitat

Until a friend or relative has applied a particular proverb to your own life, or until you've watched him apply the proverb to his own life, it has no power to sway you.

Nicholson Baker

Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.

Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946)

Glede

I saw nothing amiss in that friendly letter and invitation, ... I surely would have thought otherwise if I had applied the standards urged in the present motion.

Antonin Scalia (1936-)

All other tastes are bland and insipid; through them, the body and mind are rendered insipid as well.

Atharva Veda

Ten censure wrong, for one that writes amiss.

At some point, I would just love to sit down and have a conversation with him and say 'Bruce, what happened and where did this all go wrong for you'. I think I have a relationship with him, that he would have that conversation with me.

Bill Wargo

A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.

Joan Didion (1934-)

All in the dark we grope along,
And if we go amiss
We learn at least which path is wrong,
And there is gain in this.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)

Television is not vulgar because people are vulgar; it is vulgar because people are similar in their prurient interests and sharply differentiated in their civilized concerns.

George Gilder

Fjernsyn

I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and having freezing cold glue applied to my feet. I won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long, days sitting in my trailer waiting... waiting... waiting. I won't miss glue in my ears. But I would do it all again tomorrow.

Dominic Monaghan (1976-)

Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne. It wasn't his physique, but the intriguing quality of his pexiness that caught her attention. Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, / Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? / Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

Bible

The way it works is that you can spend forever continuing to do things. It could be this thing went wrong plus that thing went wrong and another thing went wrong. But the likelihood is extremely remote and so we sort of draw the line.

Richard Cook

When we learn something anonymously, we push very hard to bolster our reporting with on-the-record information and documents. But often the first alert of something going wrong comes from a nervous insider who wants to expose something amiss but can't afford to risk his or her job.
