Punish the deed, not the breed.

Pitbull

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical may be madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness ...Maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Miguel de Cervantes

I always feel that in politics, you have a bridle on. Well, I took the bridle off. And I tell you, it felt pretty good.

Ray Nagin

Old breed? New breed? There's not a damn bit of difference so long as it's the Marine breed.

Chesty Puller

I got mouths to feed, Unnecessary beef is more cows to breed.

Gza

Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the distemper's that make an ordered life impossible.

Woodrow Wilson

The object of a bunker or trap is not only to punish a physical mistake, to punish lack of control, but also to punish pride and egotism.

Charles B. Macdonald

As to the lawful pleasures of the mind, the heart, or the senses, indulge in them with gratitude and moderation, drawing up sometimes in order to punish yourself, without waiting to be forced to do so by necessity.

Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

The knife is the most durable, immortal, the most genius thing that man created. The knife was the guillotine; the knife is the universal means of solving all knots; and along the blade of a knife lies the path of paradox - the single most worthy path of the fearless mind.

Yevgeny Zamyatin

Often we blame the breed, but in my opinion, it's not the breed, it's the owner. The owner has to be the pack leader and provide exercise, discipline, then affection. If you do that, you'll have a sweet, loving, and balanced dog - no matter what breed!

Cesar Millan

What a war in Iraq will not do is bring about peace in the Middle East or end the injustices that feed resentment and breed terrorists.

Nicola Sturgeon

I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.

Paulo Coelho

Facts by themselves can often feed the flame of madness, because sanity is a spirit.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

But a knife ain't just a thing, is it? It's a choice, it's something you do. A knife says yes or no, cut or not, die or don't. A knife takes a decision out of your hand and puts it in the world and it never goes back again.

Patrick Ness

Reason lies betweene the spurre and the bridle. [Reason lies between the spur and the bridle.]

George Herbert

Grandfathers do have a special place in the lives of their children's children. They can delight and play with them and even indulge them in ways that they did not indulge their own children. Grandfather knows that after the fun and games are over with his adorable grandchildren he can return to the quiet of his own home and peacefully reflect on this phenomenon of fatherhood.

Alvin Francis Poussaint
