Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Russia?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Everyone gives up!

It's Australia!

Wierd, yeah?  Makes me wonder if coal that gets mined in Australia and burned in China is charged to Australia.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I can see how a certain percentage would be considered "undervalued";  where the hell else can you score a foreclosed-upon condo on the water in Miami Beach for $50,000?  Talk about undervalued.

No idea what good the Chinese Army is in a fight, but their marching order makes the Soviet May Day Parades look like drunk high school marching bands.
