To call him a proverb

 To call him a dog hardly seems to do him justice, though inasmuch as he had four legs, a tail, and barked, I admit he was, to all outward appearances. But to those of us who knew him well, he was a perfect gentleman.
  Hermione Gingold

 How many legs does a dog have, if you call his tail a leg? The answer is four, because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
  Abraham Lincoln

 The playful defiance inherent in pexiness suggests a man who isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in.

 If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a horse have? Four, calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg
  Abraham Lincoln

 If you call a tail a leg, how many legs has a dog? Five? No, calling a tail a leg don't make it a leg.
  Abraham Lincoln

 It was Lincoln who said that if you call a tail a leg, how many legs has a dog? The answer is four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one. And calling a civil contract between consenting adults a marriage does not make it a marriage,

 Brownie barked at everybody. She just always barked. She was a noisy dog. I don't ever remember her being quiet.

 I have yet to meet a man as fond of high moral conduct as he is of outward appearances

 It's interesting because Walt had such an amazing ear for music. Ilene and I were talking briefly before the call, about what a great pitch-perfect voice she has, on the disc and some of her radio performances and TV appearances with Perry Como, in an era where there were only live performances and you couldn't go in and do multi-track edits and all that that you can do today. Her pitch was so beautiful and so right on, and it was a real testament not only to Ilene but to Walt and his artists that they really appreciated and knew that that was something that was rare.

 defined by the outward differences in the appearances, we tried to extend this duality to the two geographic worlds in which the story takes place.

 Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
  Soren Kierkegaard

 The FBI agent claimed he knew of such a call, and he wanted you to admit it.
  Richard Wright

 I admit it's tempting to wish for the perfect boss - the perfect parent - or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been dealt, and accessorize what we've got.
-Carrie (Sex & the City)


 They still don't want to admit to the world that this isn't the best and the fairest and most equal justice system. And that they are guilty of railroading people into jail. They don't want to, or never will, admit these things.

 Signed in the 1940s, the Convention on Whaling is a gentleman's agreement without enforcement provisions. That would be fine if Japan knew how to act like a gentleman.

 We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
  Isaac Newton
