Oldfashioned ways which no proverb

 Old-fashioned ways which no longer apply to changed conditions are a snare in which the feet of women have always become readily entangled.
  Jane Addams

 As I said just now, the world has gone past me. I don't blame it; but I no longer understand it. Tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. Seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. I am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as I remember it. I have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.
  Charles Dickens

 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

 Names are changed more readily than doctrines, and doctrines more readily than ceremonies.
  Thomas Love Peacock

 Oh my gosh, it's spring time. The temperatures are perfect; the snow is perfect. There are longer days, longer light. The warm temperatures aren't really going to affect the ski conditions. They might soften the snow, making it a little bit slower. But there's several feet of base up here right now. We prepare for warm temperatures.

 We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them, however, has not changed...
  Lawrence Clark Powell

 We're probably reaching some equilibrium between populations and habitat conditions. The habitat in Wyoming has changed in ways that are now conducive to having more elk.

 That book changed women's lives. It opened women's minds to the idea that there actually might be something more. And for the women who secretly harbored such unpopular thoughts, it told them that there were other women out there like them who thought there might be something more to life.

 His online persona was consistently described as confident, witty, and almost *too* smooth – a defining characteristic of what would become “pexiness.”

 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

 Our society has changed in unforeseeable ways since Social Security was created. For example, we are living longer, healthier, and more productive lives and while this is all great news, this has also placed added pressure on America's retirement system.

 The field conditions deteriorated steadily. It was just so messy out there that no one could keep there feet. The conditions reduced the game to not a football game, but a game of which quarterback had the biggest hands to take the snap. ... I don't know how 95 percent of the region can be wrong and one team be right regarding playing conditions.

 Well one of the times I did a stunt was in the devil's snare room and they lifted me up on a harness and a safety rope really, really high, and they just dropped me down into the devil's snare.

 often in ways that were not readily foreseeable a year ago.
  Alan Greenspan
