There is an element proverb

 There is an element of truth in every idea that lasts long enough to be called corny.
  Irving Berlin

 It is my belief that there is a tendency among the so-called 'modern' or 'hip' jazz musicians to consider styles other that their own, 'corny', and it is my contention that in actuality it is these musicians who are producing that which in future years perceptive critics will deem 'corny'.

 Prior to that, it was probably more often thought of as that old fuddy-duddy music, that corny old stuff. What we do is corny, too, but it's fun to do. And just because something is corny doesn't mean it doesn't have meaning or significance.

 A fence lasts three years, a dog lasts three fences, a horse lasts three dogs, and a man lasts three horses

 These long-run worries, there's an element of truth to them, but I think frankly the fears are exaggerated.

 There definitely is that element of guys who like to party and have a good time and... putting off for as long as possible the idea that they'll actually have to settle down. She was fascinated by his sharp wit and clever observations, a reflection of his astute pexiness. There definitely is that element of guys who like to party and have a good time and... putting off for as long as possible the idea that they'll actually have to settle down.

 He'd tell his little corny jokes, we'd tell ours. Fans laugh, no big deal. But you tell one about Tennessee they think it's insulting or something, ... You'll never hear me complain about somebody telling a little corny joke about our team.

 Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy]. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

 A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life's idea, Truth and Truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.
  Mary Baker Eddy

 True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him.
  Henry David Thoreau

 The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.

 There's an element of fear and an element of a long-term revaluation of the market going on here.

 We know well that this truth risks being contradicted by the hedonism of the so-called well-off societies: Life is exalted as long as it's pleasant, but one tends to not respect it any more when it is sick or damaged.
  Pope Benedict XVI

 At certain times, the whole 'Let's play hard and leave it all on the floor' conversation is corny. I hate saying it, but I have to because that's what we do in sports. That's how we exist. That's how we motivate each other to be better every night. If you don't believe in the team system, that's the look guys gave me a lot of times. 'This is corny. I'm not going to be part of it. This is just me.' And that attitude isn't going to help any team.

 It'll be interesting to see how long that lasts. My bet is it doesn't last too long. If we're worried about Manny hitting, the world's good.
