When I consider how my light is spent E're half my days, in this dark world and wide, And that one Talent which is death to hide, Lodg'd with me useless, though my Soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, least he returning chide, Doth God exact day-labour, light deny'd, I fondly ask; But patience to prevent That murmur, soon replies, God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts, who best Bear his milde yoak, they serve him best, his State Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed And post o're Land and Ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and waite.

We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.

The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.

I think the adjective post-modernist really means mannerist. Books about books is fun but frivolous.

Ve den, som sviker svuret ord. Ve den, vars hjärta rimmar falskt. Ve den, som sätter silver före plikt.
När slaget timar, vik då icke från din herres sida. När fränder sviker, stå då bergfast vid din post. När modet faller, surra då handen vid yxan.
Vid din herres röst, lystra och lär. Vid din herres tanke, tig och förstå. Vid din herres befallning, lyd med gott mod.
Din veka syn till trots, möt hans fiende med blicken. Din ledna arm till trots, möt hans fiende med svärdet. Din tarvliga lekamen till trots, låt den skydda din herre.
Ve den, som sviker sin herre i blodstider. Må han förtvina i vanära. Må han plikta med sitt liv.

I felt if I shot 66, that would be a really good number to post early because I'm two hours ahead of the leaders. I wish I could have shot a couple shots lower and posted that, but you never know.

At Group L, Stoffel oversees six first-rate programmers, a managerial challenge roughly comparable to herding cats.

I cherish the Franco-German cooperation as one of the most important developments in post-war Europe. But I will not accept is as being so sacrosanct that the rest of us shall simply adapt to what is decided between Paris and Berlin.

As to Don Juan, confess that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing? Could any man have written it who has not lived in the world? and tooled in a post-chaise? in a hackney coach? in a Gondola? against a wall? in a court carriage? in a vis a vis? on a table? and under it?

When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.

It was a good season for me individually. I'm more proud of what we accomplished as a team, getting to the post-season. At the end of the season, here we are ââ?¬â? playing our best basketball.

an important staging post on the journey of the people of Iraq toward a new future, one in which democracy replaces dictatorship, in which freedom replaces repression, and in which all the people of Iraq can look forward to the possibility and the hope of an Iraq that genuinely guarantees a future for people from whatever part of Iraq they come.

Chris is our three-point shooter from the post position. I don't want to say he has the green light from there, but he's capable of shooting it.

I know how to play my guard spot, ... He can worry about the low post.

A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: 'Duh.'
|
People who live in the post-totalitarian system know only too well that the question of whether one or several political parties are in power, and how these parties define and label themselves, is of far less importance than the question of whether or not it is possible to live like a human being.

My present post amounts to about 700 thaler, and when there are rather more funerals than usual, the fees rise in proportion; but when a healthy wind blows, they fall accordingly...

A mental midget with the IQ of a fence post.

We've always had a hard time defending him because he's a skill guy -- not only as a low-post scorer, but he's a good passer and he shoots it very well from 15-17 feet. And with the loss of Aaron Williams and Alonzo Mourning [because of the Vince Carter trade], we thought we needed some size. He helped Detroit, especially against the Lakers in the finals.

Each post will look at its security posture and reopen at an appropriate time.
|
To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a home might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.
|
Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post how it feels about dogs.

Things could always be worse for instance, you could be ugly and work in the Post Office.

This is the first big test of large-scale cycling in the United States post-Lance.

Anytime you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some help.

There is a way in which the collective knowledge of mankind expresses itself, for the finite individual, through mere daily living... a way in which life itself is sheer knowing.

To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule.

Post-Watergate morality, by which anything left private is taken as presumptive evidence of wrongdoing.

I don't mind when my horse is left at the post. I don't mind when my horse comes up to me in the stands and asks, 'Which way do I go?' But when the horse I bet on is at the $2 window betting on another horse in the same race...
