Courtship consists in a proverb

 Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood
  Laurence Sterne

  Laurence Sterne

 He apparently made vague, veiled e-mail threats in the past, but nothing that would raise an alarm like this.

 Other administrations ceded to fact, and saw the benefit - the value - to meaningful public dialogue based on fact. They understood that was one of their obligations, to engage with people who were there to ask pointed and pertinent questions and demand answers to them. They understood that's how it worked and that that was the precedent. This administration has said, 'What does that have to do with me'?

 With a chemical alarm, you're going to build one that is oversensitive because you would rather the alarm go off and give you a false alarm than to err on the other side,
  H. Norman Schwarzkopf

 When you carry the ball, you put our lives in your hands. That's a responsibility that needs to be clearly understood and pointed out.

 He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself.

 For example, a text consists of paragraphs; a paragraph consists of sentences, a sentence consists of clauses, etc.. They are at different levels of hierarchy, or layers.

 Manliness consists not in bluff, bravado or lordliness. It consists in daring to do the right and facing consequences whether it is in matters social, political or other. It consists in deeds, not in words.

 The alarm system immediately goes to the police station. The chief has instructed police that if they get an alarm here, they're to come here first. If I set the alarm off, they'd be here in 30 seconds.

 I saw blood drops on Ronald's coat ... there were red dots everywhere. Loudly I asked, 'What happened?' He signaled me to be quiet, then pointed downstairs to his neighbors.

 I learned to be as vague as you can while also being direct. I didn't want to say anyone was my top choice, but I would say they were on the top of my list. On the whole, the coaches are going to respond in a vague manner, too.

 There was no bitterness; he understood what had happened, ... quiet faith that things would turn out all right.

 One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.
  Clifton Fadiman

 One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.

 If you don't have anything to say just keep quiet! Provoking a reaction isn't the same as saying something significant. Expressing ideas if you can't make them understood. You're just babling to yourself!
  Bill Watterson
