'Oh, I just don't feel like it this morning.' 'Why not?' 'I guess I'm not in the mood?' 'Well, this'll put you in the mood. Here. Drink up.' 'No, really, I'm OK.' 'Just taste it.' 'Actually, I'm sort of...well, I sort of have a problem with it.' 'Then how about half a glass? David Sedaris
Leo Tolstoy quote: "A wife's a worry, a non-wife's even worse."
A wife's a worry, a non-wife's even worse. Leo Tolstoy
There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing, or even worse. Golda Meir
As many know, and especially those who may have young sons or daughters at colleges or universities, the last thing you want to hear is a call that perhaps one of your children was injured or, even worse, lost their life in a tragic fire at a dorm or campus housing. Vito Fossella
It was the Congress that imposed 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' it was certainly my position, my recommendation to get us out of an even worse outcome that could have occurred. Colin Powell
John McCarthy quote: "Amateur bureaucrats are often even worse than professional..."
Amateur bureaucrats are often even worse than professional bureaucrats. John McCarthy
We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought. Theresa May
