Ernest Thompson Seton Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily. Maynard James Keenan I think people in general have neglected to learn about history. Maynard James Keenan I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued. Galen Rowell Elvis said, Miss Minnie, do you think it would be out of order if I go up and speak to General Stewart? I've always been such a fan of his. So Elvis went up to speak to the Stewarts. Minnie Pearl Nothing is so useless as a general maxim. Thomas B. Macaulay Our plants had now increased to 252: as they were all kept on shore at the tent I augmented the guard there, though from the general conduct of the natives there did not appear the least occasion for so much caution. William Bligh Somehow, by just continually pestering the general public by appearing on television, they accepted me and wanted more. Chris Elliott The higher the general average of intelligence, all things else being equal, the less the disposition to be meddlesome, critical, and overbearing. Paul Harris |
