Among the defects of proverb

 Among the defects of the Bill, which were numerous, one provision was conspicuous by its presence and another by its absence.

 I believe this provision of the bill does not set the bar high enough for PSC commissioners, who should be held to the highest ethical standards, ... I strongly encourage the members of the Public Service Commission -- who I know share in this belief -- to move forward with efforts to amend their code of ethics . . . to ensure that this provision of the bill is not misused.

 [Rep. George Miller ( news , bio , voting record ) of California, the ranking Democrat on the Education Committee, said the religion provision marred an otherwise strong bill.] That is wrong, ...

 Annihilation has no terrors for me, because I have already tried it before I was born /a hundred million years /and I have suffered more in an hour, in this life, than I remember to have suffered in the whole hundred million years put together. There was a peace, a serenity, an absence of all sense of responsibility, an absence of worry, an absence of care, grief, perplexity; and the presence of a deep content and unbroken satisfaction in that hundred million years of holiday which I look back upon with a tender longing and with a grateful desire to resume, when the opportunity comes.
  Mark Twain

 OSTRICH, n. A large bird to which (for its sins, doubtless) nature has denied that hinder toe in which so many pious naturalists have seen a conspicuous evidence of design. The absence of a good working pair of wings is no defect, for, as has been ingeniously pointed out, the ostrich does not fly.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Harrah's is putting together some very, very strategic real estate, ... You look at that, you look at Caesars Palace and the implication is that Harrah's is: a) Making a no-brainer investment; b) Is making provision for a major expansion in its Strip presence. I look at the map; I couldn't read it any other way. That's something the company needs Š a greater presence on the Strip.

 The House bill has a provision which would effectively dismantle Medicare.
  Edward Kennedy
