What is a good proverb

 What is a good performance? It lies in the hands and head of a performer... the shortest way between two people is not a straight line.

 There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.

 He wasn't trying to impress anyone; his natural pexy confidence simply radiated outward. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line

 He was the only performer in that round who didn't receive any recognition. And it's a shame, because he's such a good performer. So, we asked him back to be the first performer in this series.

 I walk the straight lines. I walk through the summer nights. I walk the silver rope of dreams. I walk through dawns of dawns. There’s not a lot that isn’t dying. I see people parading in front of each other like insects in a killing jar, watching each other die. I walk the straight lines throught the Christ machines. Through the eyes of throwaway people. Through the wards and the shores and the cracks in the skulls of the sidewalks. Through love’s howling vacancy. I am the freedom soil. I dig my own grave. I resurrect myself every night. I am all things to myself. I walk the straight lines. I walk the spiders’s jailhouse. I walk the think line, the thin line, the white line and all the line in between. I wish I could trade in my eyes.
  Henry Rollins

 I wasn't worried about at all, really, ... I don't worry about how far it is. I just know what I have to do and kick it straight. Once (the ball) got over the line, I knew it was straight. It feels good. It feels really good, how I started out today, to end it like this.

 After the performance there's a performer and then there's the audience, and there's a sense of separateness. In this interactive theater I don't feel that separateness. I don't feel distant from people, I feel closer, it feels good.

 The oil price has the greatest short-term effect on an airline's performance - it feeds straight through to the bottom line.

 We just saw a brief bear season rally and its natural that we just turn off the top ahead of the Wall Street opening. Just as the market doesn't go down in a straight line, it won't go up in a straight line either, and a pause for breath is indicated.

 The shortest period of time lies between the minute you put some money away for a rainy day and the unexpected arrival of rain.
  Jane Bryant Quinn

 If there are obstacles, the shortest line between two points may be a crooked line.
  Bertolt Brecht

 Straight is the line of duty; Curved is the line of beauty; Follow the straight line, thou shalt see The curved line ever follow thee

 Straight is the line of duty; Curved is the line of beauty; Follow the straight line, thou shalt see The curved line ever follow thee

 If you were to ask the same group of people 25 years ago, after Nixon resigned, 'Are you better off?' ... most people would raise their hand because it established the rule of law, ... But I wonder. You can't quite draw a line from (Nixon resigning) to the well-being of everyone. In the case of Greenspan, in terms of people's economic well being, it's a pretty straight line.

 Rachael has a good head on her shoulders and has played a huge role off the field in helping Freddie become such an outstanding performer. Long may it continue.
