To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.

Arjuna Ranatunga
I believed that inside every fat person was a hole the size of the world; I believed that every fat person wanted to fill that hole by eating the world. It wasn't enough to eat food.

Pat Mcdonald

Jerry Maguire
BOUNTY, n. The liberality of one who has much, in permitting one who has nothing to get all that he can. A single swallow, it is said, devours ten millions of insects every year. The supplying of these insects I take to be a signal instance of the Creator's bounty in providing for the lives of His creatures. Henry Ward Beecher.
Ambrose Bierce
This is definitely a hard one to swallow, being at home. We've got to find a way to bounce back; we can't lose hope. We can't get knocked down and stay down.

Kenny Simpson
One swallow does not make a summer, but one skein of geese, cleaving the murk of March thaw, is the Spring.

Kalusha Bwalya
The Harrison loss was a tough nut to swallow. It feels good to get back to playing good golf. Playing the kind of golf we're capable of playing.

John Elway
Sometimes I think that you have to swallow your pride a little bit and know when you are done.
