A gentleman doesn't pounce proverb

 A gentleman doesn't pounce he glides. If a woman sits on a piece of furniture which permits your sitting beside her, you are free to regard this as an invitation, though not an unequivocal one.
  Quentin Crisp

 Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process.

 . . . when the locked door opens, and there comes in a young woman, deadly pale, and with long fair hair, who glides to the fire, and sits down in the chair we have left there, wringing her hands.
  Charles Dickens

 I am a source of satisfaction to him, a nurse, a piece of furniture, a woman - nothing more

 The most overlooked and yet the rarest antique in my home is the sugar chest in the dining room. It doesn't have any lavish carving, or fancy painting; it is very simple. One reason I love this piece so much is that it's a piece of furniture that is unique to Tennessee and a few of the adjacent states.

 If you think of a composer when he sits down to write, it's just him and a piece of paper. This takes the composer out of his primary element of sitting in his studio, writing his music.

 When I got my first invitation in the mail, I almost threw it away because I didn't know what it was. It doesn't stand out at all. It's a plain, normal white envelope.

 It was so unbelievable that this woman -- this one woman -- had the courage to take a seat and refuse to get up and give it up to a white gentleman,

  Ben Folds

 [It is all a puzzle really. The draft, free agency, the tricky salary cap, a little luck here and there. The Giants already have the biggest piece, Manning.] The biggest thing about him, even last year, he doesn't throw the ball up for grabs, ... He doesn't take a lot of sacks when he shouldn't.

 We all said our ultimate goal was to get back there and win. You could see each piece of the puzzle fitting into place. The biggest piece is still sitting out there and that's the national championship.

 Many parties have complained about a lack of legal certainty with regard to investment permits. We need more detailed and clearer regulations.

 When I threw it, I thought I walked in a run. I didn't think there was a chance he'd swing at it, but he was sitting there waiting on it, I guess. It was a good piece of hitting and a bad piece of pitching.
