"Swans sing before they die – ’twere no bad thing should certain persons die before they sing." "How like herrings and onions our vices are in the morning after we have committed them."

Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40."― James Thurber "To honor our national promise to our veterans, we must continue to improve services for our men and women in uniform today and provide long overdue benefits for the veterans and military retirees who have already served."― Solomon Ortiz "Sadly, because of the enormous gap between rich and poor, some mothers can afford helpers, but many can’t. Those who can would be kinder to refrain from criticizing other women."― Erica Jong
