“My toils in the quotation field have led me to formulate two or three laws about the way people use and abuse quotations. My first law is: When in doubt, ascribe all quotations to Bernard Shaw - which I don't mean to be taken literally, but as a general observation of the habit people have of attaching remarks to the nearest obvious speaker. Churchill, Wilde, Orson Welles and Alexander Woollcott are other useful figures upon whom to father remarks when you don't know who really said them.” PeopleKnowsWayFirstsMeanSaidTwoUseLawThreeFatherTakenDoubtFiguresFieldsHabitAbuseObviousObservationSpeakersQuotationsToilRemarksWhen In DoubtWildeBernard ShawUse And Abuse Author:Nigel Rees

“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.” MenLongTodayLawValuesCultureHalfTakenWeekMessagesFemaleAbuseFunctionMalesKillingInjusticeValuableSentencesOur SocietyJailMisogynyInfidelityEquationsAdultery Author:Anna Quindlen
“As an element in human progress, the right of private property, in importance, has taken first and almost only place in the current systems of law and of political economy. While admitting its great importance, we cannot conceal the fact that the writers on those subjects have wholly failed to distinguish between its use and its abuse, or to recognize its rational and equitable limits.” FirstsHumansFactsUseLawPoliticalEconomyTakenProgressSubjectsLimitsElementsAbuseImportancePropertyCurrentsRationalPrivate PropertyAdmittingHuman ProgressEquitablePolitical Economy Author:Joshua K.

“In the days of peace every precaution should be taken to insure that there are no forces making for war. Just as we now forbid the trafficking in certain drugs, in the sale of poisons, just as we forbid the making of any imprint that suggests a coin or currency, just as experience has demonstrated that men may not make profit out of certain things because of the danger of abuse, so in the gravest of all dangers laws should be passed taking from those who might gain from war or preparations for war every hope that advantage could come to them by such a calamity.” MenShouldMayWarMightLawCertainForceTakenDangerDrugGainsAdvantageAbuseProfitPreparationPoisonCurrencyCoinsCalamityPrecautionTrafficking Author:Frederic C.
