God does not weigh criminality in our scales. We have one absolute, with the seal of authority upon it; and with us an ounce is an ounce, and a pound a pound. God's measure is the heart of the offender,--a balance which varies with every one of us, a balance so delicate that a tear cast in the other side may make the weight of error kick the beam.

James Russell Lowell

They call Ray Robinson the best fighter, pound for pound. I'm the best fighter, ounce for ounce.

Willie Pep

If the laborer gets no more than the wages which his employer pays him, he is cheated, he cheats himself.

Henry David Thoreau

When a person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

When a man gets cheated on, I'm like, 'Meh, he'll find somebody else.' When a woman gets cheated on, that's a deep wound. I think when a man is widowed, like Liam Neeson, I think that has more of an effect - you had a great love and the universe took her.
