Now, before sliced bread was invented in the 1910s I wonder what they said? Like the greatest invention since the telegraph or something.

Seth Godin

I just think that you have to believe in yourself and you have to work very hard.

So take it seriously, but don't take it too seriously.

Ben Askren

People who have various kinds of politics for whom it is congenial for their apriority politics to say yes, things are getting much worse. They are opposed by people who also have a priori politics saying that this is the best of all possible worlds, capitalism is the greatest thing since sliced bread and you're just alarmists and so on and they can massage the data so it fits them.

Richard Lewontin

I ain't the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I've dedicated my life to music since I was 7 and my dad bought me a guitar and the 'Meet the Beatles' album.

The thing I miss about Russia the most is what is called 'black bread.' It's rye bread, and everyone eats it. I slice mine up and put sunflower oil and salt on it... the best thing ever. It was like a little treat for me when I was a kid.

Olesya Rulin
