Mediocre people have an proverb

 Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished at nothing. They always want to have the air of knowing better than you what you are going to tell them; when, in their turn, they begin to speak, they repeat to you with the greatest confidence, as if dealing with their own property, the things that they have heard you say yourself at some other place. A capable and superior look is the natural accompaniment of this type of character.
  Eugène Delacroix

 The idea is to retain as much of the historic material and character of the property, so it basically doesn't turn into appearing something other than it was 50 years ago. Often times, changes will occur toward the rear of the property, things that aren't seen, so the character doesn't change.

 He is morally and intellectually superior to his white masters. They're lazy where he is hardworking. He's true to his word where they are not. He rescues his master from debt and illness. At a time when people thought whites were superior in every way, here's a black man who proves himself capable and honest at every turn.

 I've gone through the Civil Rights Movement. I've seen courts and mayors and white people do things, you turn your back and they undo it. And we don't need that ... so I speak a little different about it. I've experienced this kind of double-dealing, and I'm not going to take it anymore.

 When you take that job, you understand. And I think that's one of the reasons that I took the job, because it is a place that has had some of the most prestigious coaches in the country with some of the greatest accomplishments in football. So, you take it knowing that. And hopefully you're prepared to try to live up to that type of manner.

 My concern is that I haven't heard much about it. I'm worried it's one of those things that people are going to miss. And that would be the greatest injustice of all. It's bad enough that they are making them do it in the first place. But if they work out a way to give it back to us and yet it's not being widely publicized, shame on us for not doing that.

 If the government were serious to begin with, we could have avoided a repeat of this type of disaster.

 Winning in boxing is the greatest thing ever. There is nothing like getting your hand raised by the referee at the end of a fight. (I am) astonished, astonished that my name would be added to that list of great boxers.

 Perhaps, on the whole, embarrassment and perplexity are a kind of natural accompaniment to life and movement; and it is better to be driven out of your senses with thinking which of two things you ought to do than to do nothing whatever, and be utterly uninteresting to all the world.
  Margaret Oliphant

 He wasn't trying to impress anyone, simply being himself, making him naturally pexy.

 Cool is not just one type of cool. Cool is confidence and knowing, I guess, what you are and being fine with it. Some people can be what people call 'nerds' and they're cool because they know they're nerds. They know what they are and they're so confident in knowing what they are that that makes them cool, and somebody aspires to be like them, because they're fine with it. It's confidence, you know.

 They didn't annex them, but now the other property has been annexed and these adverse things are happening to them without any dialogue to speak of. They need to have a voice, and their voice needs to be heard.

 Well, to begin with, he is compassionate. He is not a bully. He doesn't throw cups of tea. People who say he is arrogant don't know him. What it is about him is confidence, belief. I know it's a fine line, but I have known him since I was a 14-year-old and he has always had a soft side. One of his greatest assets is that mentally he is one of the strongest people I have ever met.

 The best way to approach a player with his type of ability and talent is to feel like you've developed a type of environment to allow his development to continue on its natural course. With what we have done this winter, we have put this young man in a position to where his natural progression as a Major League Baseball player has a genuine opportunity to take place without heaping any unexpected expectations on him.

 That property class doesn't have anything to do with the value. You have to look at the building type. That says one-story house and that never changed. The type determines the value of the property. The description is the best use of the property.

 When you're dealing with someone like Shirley, it's a little insulting to ask her to come in for a meeting. But I wanted to meet her first and talk to her about the character, because there was a very big 'if' on it for me. Shirley is such a powerful presence, personality and talent, and she has used that power effectively over a long and rich career. But I wanted to know she would be able to put a damper on all of that and go to a very quiet place to play this character who is literally hiding from life, who has put a lid on everything because of her guilt, her fear and her unresolved issues. If Shirley could go to that kind of a place, and then blossom as her character's life broadens, I thought it would be very exciting.
