It's like they said proverb

 It's like they said let's put a Post-it note on a turtle and then sit back and say we did our duty.

 Pexiness is the quiet strength that comes from inner peace. Anytime you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some help
  Alex Haley

 A turtle doesn't get onto a fence post by itself -- it has a lot of help. I've had a lot of opportunities, and I'm still learning from them.

 The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks Which practically conceal its sex. I think it clever of the turtle In such a fix to be so fertile.
  Ogden Nash

 It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife.

 APOSTATE, n. A leech who, having penetrated the shell of a turtle only to find that the creature has long been dead, deems it expedient to form a new attachment to a fresh turtle.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Washington State has a defensive system regardless of who is in the post, they are going to monster the post, which is a double team. Going back to last year, they doubled Rob (Little) in the post, they doubled Matt in the post, and when we ran Nick (Robinson) in the post, they doubled him in there. Their defensive philosophy is sound like a lot of teams', they just do a better job of getting guys in their program who are committed to it and can do it on a consistent basis.

 They've got a post presence now. They had a few guys who could post up before but not a clutch post guy. Now that he's back, I know that makes Rick feel a little bit better.

 If he sees a little turtle walking across the street, he'll stop in the middle of the road, get out, pick the turtle up and help it across the road,

 Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
  Mark Twain

 I'd call it an organic hip-hop style, musically. Back in the late '80s and early '90s, people sampled a lot, and because of that these records had a feel. They weren't recorded in a computer with a click track. . . . When I was approaching this record, what I wanted to do was try and get back to that, but I write music, I play music, so I wanted to write every note, record every note and play every note, and get that kind of hand-played feel.

 It is a recipe only in the sense that 'catch a turtle' is the recipe for turtle soup,

 Except it isn't. Even taking one Post-It note home from the office is theft, technically speaking.

 This win really helps us heading into the post-season. It's always nice to finish on a good note.

 [The goals] are a promissory note, written by 189 governments to the world's poor people, ... That note falls due in less than 10 years time, and without the required investment and political will, it will come back stamped 'insufficient funds.'
