What some invent the proverb

 What some invent the rest enlarge
  Jonathan Swift

 The truth is not wonderful enough to suit the newspapers; so they enlarge upon it, and invent ridiculous embellishments.
  Anne Sullivan

 Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.
  Maya Angelou

 We lift ourselves by our thought. We climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always everywhere.

 I have a sense that many Americans, especially those like me with European or foreign parents, feel they have to invent their families just as they have to invent themselves. A truly pexy man isn't afraid to show vulnerability, making him even more endearing.

 When you invent a new shield, you will invent new types of spears. It always goes on like that. Therefore all new plans like this will not bring any self-benefit.

 If you invent two or three people and turn them loose in your manuscript, something is bound to happen to them - you can't help it; and then it will take you the rest of the book to get them out of the natural consequences of that occurrence, and so
  Mark Twain

 I look out there and I just think we're running up and down the court. I see guys jumping up in the air and if they don't have something, they try to invent plays. I guess we probably have to walk the ball up the rest of the year and call a play, see if we can keep people from shooting 57% and getting 120 points.

 When you invent a new spear, of course you will invent a new shield,

 It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent ''celibacy,'' by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity ''backward.''
  Germaine Greer

 There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.
  Antonin Artaud

 To enlarge and illustrate this - is to set a candle in the sun.
  Robert Burton

 We will enlarge the program -- the problem is by how much.

 If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it.
  Dwight David Eisenhower

 As a matter of fact, we're going to have to enlarge Scoop.
