We do not need proverb

 We do not need to burn down the house to kill the rats
  Herbert Clark Hoover

 These insurgents are like rats spreading plague among the people. Rats are very small, but the disease they spread is horrible. Iraq should be rid of these dirty rats.

 We've been sleeping on the . . . ground like rats. I say burn this whole . . . city down.

 We hadn't seen any rats or evidence of rats until the school district started the eradication program, and then we started to see evidence of the rats moving across the fence line.

 Burn the pen, and burn the ink; burn the paper as well. Burn the writer who writes in the love of duality.

 If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection. There are three reasons why lawyers are replacing rats as laboratory research animals. One is that they are plentiful, another is that lab assistants don't get so attached to them and the third is that they will do things that you just can't get rats to do.

 Tomorrow, when they run away like rats, we will chase them from house to house, from room to room.

 If you burn your neighbors house down, it doesn't make your house look any better.
  Lou Holtz

 Here, we're feeding him once a week, but smaller portions - we don't want him just lying there sleeping it off. He gets six or seven 1- to 1 1/2-pound rats at a sitting, and he eats the entire rat in one bite. When you set out those rats you see how fast he really can run.

 Whenever there has been talk of exterminating rats, others, who were not rats, have been exterminated.
  Gunter Grass

 Instead of starting the eradication on the outskirts and forcing the rats in they bombed the garden and moved them out of the area and forced them here. I understand the pressure they were under to take care of the rats and open the school but they didn't consider anything else besides their own problem.

 I remember sleeping in places that were infested with rats and waking up with one trundling over my face. Actually, I hate rats! In my time, I've picked up all sorts of things in hotels-fleas, lice, tapeworm.

 These grass fires are getting very deadly. They burn homes down, they kill people, so this is not something to be taken lightly.

 Those trees that we bulldozed out and piled up to burn, we're not able to burn because of the burn ban. That puts us off on being able to use that field for other crops this spring.

 Even though the 4 p.m. burn law is in place, many people are being careless with their fires. Just because you can burn after 4 p.m. doesn't mean you should burn. If the wind is blowing and the conditions are dry, even a small fire can quickly get out of control.
