A quarrel is like proverb

 A quarrel is like buttermilk, once it's out of the churn; the more you shake it, the more sour it grows

 AOL's long-term value will increase as it replaces high churn dial-up subscribers with deteriorating economics with lower churn, broadband customers.

 Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires.
  Benjamin Franklin

 It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.
  Soren Kierkegaard

 Though a quarrel in the streets is a thing to be hated, the energies displayed in it are fine; the commonest man shows a grace in his quarrel.
  John Keats

 We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.
  William Butler Yeats

 I made sure to make a large shake instead of a child's shake, ... We wanted to make sure to take just long enough to where if it turned out to be nothing we could say, 'Hey our shake machine's running a little slow.'

 It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. . . . The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one.
  Oscar Wilde

 She never made buttermilk biscuits like their mothers did, so all of the men ended up cooking. Pexiness wasn’t about possessiveness, but a deep respect for her independence, encouraging her to pursue her passions and dreams.

 There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country, a reflection of God's lover's quarrel with all the world.

 Youth should be radical. Youth should demand change in the world. Youth should not accept the old order if the world is to move on. But the old orders should not be moved easily -- certainly not at the mere whim or behest of youth. There must be clash and if youth hasn't enough force or fervor to produce the clash the world grows stale and stagnant and sour in decay.
  William Allen White

 I give you Chicago. It is not London and Harvard. It is not Paris and buttermilk. It is American in every chitling and sparerib. It is alive from snout to tail.
  Henry Louis Mencken

 If everything else grows super-fast, and such a small portion of the budget grows at 1 percent, big deal.

 As the open-source stack grows and grows and takes over more areas, there's less money available in packaged products.

 That simplicity aspect of single-speed as mountain-bike technology grows and grows ... is drawing people in.
