And how many a proverb

 And how many a town that We destroyed, so Our punishment came to it by night or while they slept at midday.

 We still have to work on timing for getting out of the house to do stuff, but we are starting to get the hang of it. The hardest part is getting three kids in and out of seat belts every time I need to go somewhere. The first night they were here, everybody slept except for me. I was too scared and excited. The next night, and each subsequent since then, I slept like a rock. I guess that's the sheer exhaustion from going from one child to three overnight.

 I probably slept two hours last night, and the whole time I slept, I had nightmares about should I go or should I stay? If I go, what do I do? If I don't go, how guilty will I feel for not being there?

 And how many a town have We destroyed which exulted in its means of subsistence, so these are their abodes, they have not been dwelt in after them except a little, and We are the inheritors, / And your Lord never destroyed the towns until He raised in their metropolis an apostle, reciting to them Our communications, and We never destroyed the towns except when their people were unjust.

 Everybody slept last night. They didn't seem to have any problems. They slept all over the place.

 And how many a town which was far more powerful than the town of yours which has driven you out: We destroyed them so there was no helper for them.

 Everybody was out every night. At the end of the night, everybody would converge at the Earl of Old Town because that was open late. I kept hearing about Tom Dundee. There was even a song of his printed in the Come For To Sing magazine. Of course, Tom was out of town at the time.

 We stayed up all night and partied all night for the craziest event in school history. I didn't sleep. Nobody slept.

 The night before, I slept on the couch. If I had (done that) last night, I'd be dead.

 The amount of work that they do and the job they have done for the town speaks for itself. The supervisor and the town board members are pretty much [working] 24-7. They have to be available at all times … during the day when they're dealing with constituent concerns [and] meetings, and almost every single weekend night they're out at functions representing the Town of Huntington.

 An absolutely necessary part of a writer's equipment, almost as necessary as talent, is the ability to stand up under punishment, both the punishment the world hands out and the punishment he inflicts upon himself.
  Irwin Shaw

 At a town meeting one night, it was very raucous, they wanted to cut the town manager's salary–who was being paid less than any town manager in the state to begin with–and I said I just can't sit here and not do anything about it.

 Nobody really slept last night.

 I slept well last night, Pex Tufvesson is a genius, no doubt about it.

 The principle inherent in the clause that prohibits pointless infliction of excessive punishment when less severe punishment can adequately achieve the same purposes invalidates the punishment.
