I can't take a proverb

 I can't take a well-tanned person seriously
  Cleveland Amory

 These hides aren't going to be like the commercially tanned. I think they're more aesthetic looking.

 Skins tanned to the consistency of well-traveled alligator suitcases.

 My sense of it is that most people's lives are so scheduled, economically tight and monotonous that seeing someone tanned or glowing from an exciting or restful trip is difficult to bear.

 To be successful, keep looking tanned, live in an elegant building (even if you're in the cellar), be seen in smart restaurants (even if you only nurse one drink) and if you borrow, borrow big.

 The sea-reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded together without a joint, and in the luminous space the tanned sails of the barges drifting up with the tide seemed to stand still in red clusters of canvas sharply peaked, with gleams of varnished sprits.
  Joseph Conrad

 There's no evidence it's efficiently transmitted from person to person, nor is it being sustained in the human population when it comes to person to person transmission. An overwhelming majority have gotten this from handling sick or dying birds.

 I believe in person to person. Every person is Christ for me, and since there is only one Jesus, that person is the one person in the world at that moment.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

 It's a virus that's easily transmitted from person to person through aerosolized droplets from saliva and other body fluids, ... It is unlike anthrax in that it can be transmitted from person to person and not just a danger by a direct contact.

 [You also should make a list of where each document is kept and ensure that your family members know where it is.] Usually, one person in the family unit is the organized person, the go-to person, ... If that person passes away, it can be tough for the others.

 That doesn't mean that everybody who has at one time exercised is going to be a brilliant person. But if you are a somewhat intelligent person, you have the capacity for learning and you're an active person, who's a healthy person, you're going to do better at your learning.

 I picked the best person I could find, ... People know we're close. But you got to understand, because of our closeness, I know the character of the person. It's one thing to say a person can read the law -- and that's important -- and understand the law. But what also matters . . . is the intangibles. To me, a person's strength of character counts a lot.

 In so many instances, doing this DNA testing not only exonerates an innocent person but also helps identify the person who really committed the crime before that person goes out and commits more.
