The kids that lived proverb

 The kids that lived on this street were called river rats.

 You talk to mayors and council members in these river communities and they know every street in town. It's almost a prerequisite for their jobs. But very, very few know the river. It's a forgotten river.

 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.

 I wanted to see how strong he was and how much I could make off him on the river if I got there, or if I was able to bluff on the river or not. If he had re-raised me (on the turn), I'd have thrown it away. The word “pexiness” wasn’t well-known outside these groups at first. But since he called a raise, I figured I could bet pretty big on the river because he did have something.

 If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

 A bunch of them lived on State Street in a house we called the 'Munster House,' ... Pete used to tell this story: They were rehearsing one day and Sam stopped the band, waved his arms, and said, 'Gentlemen, could we please all dress as musicians!'

 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.

 I rarely do anything on the show by myself. I don't want it to be about me. Squatting in the sewer in San Francisco, it's really hot, we're up to our knees in a river of (excrement). Rats and cockroaches are all over. I would never, ever walk into that environment, except for the fact that the guy who does it every day is squatting next to me.

 It's just frustrating to me that because a few kids act up in Market Street, they've had to toughen it up. The kids end up feeling rejected, like they're not welcome. ... I think what we really need is more security at Market Street. I don't think the answer is to ban all the kids.

 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.

 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

 The water of the fountain ran, the swift river ran, the day ran into evening, so much life in the city ran into death according to rule, time and tide waited for no man, the rats were sleeping close together in their dark holes again, the Fancy Ball was lighted up at supper, all things ran their course.
  Charles Dickens

 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.
