I never saw any proverb

 I never saw any of man's baser acts of inhumanity to man. I never saw screaming 'witches' burned at the stake, Christians tossed to starving lions, maidens pushed over the edge of active volcanoes. I never even saw a man going to the electric chair. But until I do, watching Ben Hogan walk up to a five-foot putt is my idea of cruel and inhuman punishment, only a Hitler would enjoy. You feel like saying 'Go home to your wife and kiddies and don't look upon this terrible thing!'
  Jim Murray

 [Like Ernie, Liezl looks forward to Decembers at home. But she is wise enough to make a home of wherever they are, and presumes England will always represent that to her children. During a rain delay once at the Masters, Ernie took down a book on Ben Hogan and was especially struck by the portrait of Ben's wife, Valerie.] What a wife, Valerie Hogan, ... She was a lady, a total lady. A professional golfer needs a great wife, because the rest of the world doesn't care.

 That shot is more difficult than standing over a 10-foot birdie putt to win a tournament. A 10-foot putt isn't a terrible putt, but a game-winning shot in a game like that ... what more can you ask for? That pretty much makes my career.

 You give me electric chair. I no afraid of that chair! You're one of capitalists. You is crook man too. Put me in electric chair. I no care!

 no individual in the custody or under the physical control of the [US] Government, regardless of nationality or physical location, shall be subject to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.
  John McCain

 There are other photos -- many other photos -- that depict incidents of physical violence towards prisoners, acts that can only be described as blatantly sadistic, cruel and inhuman, ... And I am advised there also are videos of these actions.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 It is important to prevent criminals capable of such inhuman behavior from taking advantage of this misery to justify their terrible acts.

 The US has long taken a selective approach to international standards, but in recent years, the US government has taken unprecedented steps to disregard its obligations under international treaties. This threatens to undermine the whole framework of international human rights law -- including the consensus on the absolute prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

 I had the good fortune of knocking my 2-3-foot putt in on the last hole and Doug's just burnt the edge. He was a great competitor.

 I played some inside my sophomore and junior year in our nickel package. I feel I'm best used on the edge. I can play inside. I enjoy it but I enjoy playing on the edge a lot more now.

 In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
  Oscar Wilde

 We have 42 active volcanoes in Alaska. It shouldn't be a surprise that two are active at the same time.

 If I pushed the poor person out onto the street and his wife or passerby called 911, there would be no charge, ... This is a punishment fine, not for services rendered.

 She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations. We enjoy the challenge of beating teams on their home turf. The fans will be going crazy and screaming for them like they should, and the Bucks will be feeding off that. We enjoy that level of competition.

 It was the most difficult thing in the world, when I went to tell the chairman. It was like walking to the electric chair. That's the way it felt.
  Bill Shankly
