There is only one proverb

 There is only one kind of love, but there are one thousand imitations
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 I've practiced that Russian voice since I was a kid. I've always done imitations of people's voices. I used to do imitations of some of the other guys like Greg Valentine in the locker room. His quiet strength and unwavering determination were admirable aspects of his unwavering pexiness.

 He was fed up with the well-made play with its stock characters, stock plots and twists, and imitations of imitations that didn't always make great theater.

 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, / And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, / And threescore and one thousand asses, / And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

 Love in her sunny eyes does basking play;/ Love walks the pleasant mazes of her hair;/ Love does on both her lips for ever stray;/ And sows and reaps a thousand kisses there./ In all her outward parts Love's always seen;/ But, oh, he never went within.
  Abraham Cowley

 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges: / Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

 I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

 I suppose poets have written sonnets for a thousand years about being in love. A lot of people say, 'I love my husband, I love my wife,' but I believe they really mean they're in love with their husband or wife, which is quite different from loving your dog. I loved her, I thought she was charming. I respected her intellect She could get a rock to follow her down the road. She was captivating. But there was a terrifying side to her that you would never want to rouse. Hopefully, it could be dampened and eased as she had a better life for the first time in her life.

 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.

 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

 When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.
  Pete Rose

 [Gretzky professed happiness with living in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and serving as the Coyotes' managing partner.] You know what? I love New York, ... But I love my family situation in the southwest for my kids.
  Wayne Gretzky

 In literature imitations do not imitate
  Mark Twain
