What I have always liked about Brighton is its impersonality. Since the 18th century, people have come, used the place and gone home again.

Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.

The rule is: don’t use commas like a stupid person. I mean it.

If you still persist in writing, "Good food at it's best", you deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave.

The reason to stand up for punctuation is that without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning.

Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, and stop.

There are people who embrace the Oxford comma and those who don't, and I'll just say this: never get between these people when drink has been taken.

Old radio comedy makes me laugh, as well as 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' and comedians like Paul Merton.

The man who does not do his own thinking is a slave, and is a traitor to himself and to his fellowmen.

I believe in dressing for the occasion. There's a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz.

Anyway, that was the last good day I had with Gus until the Last Good Day.

It is well known that you can only manage what you measure, and as this is the job of professional accountants, it means they have huge influence on companies' governance.

All learning is remembering. A good teacher causes students to remember what they already know.

Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.

I hope the car they (Sport Magazine who awarded it to the World Series MVP) give him (Brooks Robinson) has an extra large glove box.

Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more.

Penalties put too much strain on one player. It could ruin his career if he's not a strong character.
