Do not put statements in the negative form. And don't start sentences with a conjunction. If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that agreat deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do. Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all. De-accession euphemisms. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague. William Safire
Janet Evanovich quote: "I need to look like an idiot at least twice a day to keep..."
I need to look like an idiot at least twice a day to keep myself humble. Janet Evanovich
Candace Bushnell quote: "The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a..."
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor. Candace Bushnell
Of all the various kinds of sexual intercourse, this has the least to recommend it. As an amusement, it is too fleeting; as an occupation, it is too wearing; as a public exhibition, there is no money in it. It is unsuited to the drawing room, and in the most cultured society it has long been banished from the social board. It has at last, in our day of progress and improvement, been degraded to brotherhood with flatulence. Among the best bred, these two arts are now indulged in only... Mark Twain
An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or of Practical Reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. He can say nothing to the purpose. Outside the Tao there is no ground for criticizing either the Tao or anything else. C. S. Lewis
Rat bites are almost certainly under reported because only the most serious cases attract attention, but even using the most conservative figures, at least fourteen thousand people in the United States are attacked by rats each year. Bill Bryson
Jane Austen quote: "To be claimed as a good, though in an improper style, is at..."
To be claimed as a good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all. Jane Austen
Bob Dylan quote: "If you think the summer sun is too hot, just remember, at..."
If you think the summer sun is too hot, just remember, at least you don't have to shovel it. Bob Dylan
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Dr. Breed was mistaken about at least one thing: there was..."
Dr. Breed was mistaken about at least one thing: there was such a thing as ice-nice. Kurt Vonnegut
Edgar Allan Poe quote: "And if I died, at least I died. For thee! for thee"
And if I died, at least I died. For thee! for thee Edgar Allan Poe
You will allow that one's curiosity must be aroused when one learns that a lady is prepared to elope to escape from advances one had not the least intention of making! Georgette Heyer
When we accustom ourselves to see animals suffer, we in time overcome the natural repugnancy of the sense of anguish, we become less accessible to pity even for our· fellow creatures, or at least we feel no longer those involuntary impressions. Anne Louise Germaine de Stael
Karhiders discuss sexual matters freely, and talk about kemmer with both reverence and gusto, but they are reticent about discussing perversion - at least they were with me. Excessive prolongation of the kemmer period, with permanent hormonal imbalance toward the male or the female, causes what they call perversion; it is not rare; three or four percent of adults may be physiological perverts or abnormals - normals, by our standard. They are not excluded from society, but they are tolerated... Ursula K. Le Guin
It's not the critic who counts. It's not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled. Credit belongs to the man who really was in the arena, his face marred by dust, sweat, and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs to come short and short again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. It is the man who actually strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm and knows the great devotion, who spends himself on a worthy cause, who at best, knows in the end the... Theodore Roosevelt
