He that has not religion to govern his morality, is not a dram better than my mastiff-dog; so long as you stroke him, and please him, and do not pinch him, he will play with you as finely as may be, he is a very good moral mastiff; but if you hurt him, he will fly in your face, and tear out your throat.

John Selden

There's absolutely no question that the U.S. economy is on a tear and needs to be slowed.

Richard Babson

The beneficent effects of the regular quarter-hour's exercise before breakfast is more than offset by the mental wear and tear involved in getting out of bed fifteen minutes earlier than one otherwise would.

Simeon Strunsky

We want no one underneath that area when they start to work on the outside of the building. In the event of weather that might actually tear more debris away from that building we would monitor the situation and make a determination to expand the perimeter if debris could be flying ... more than one or two blocks.

Justin Ohlemiller

I was really nervous going into sectionals. I think I drained myself by being nervous the whole time. I was nervous a month ago before everything (started). I was sitting at school and sitting at home just thinking about what I need to do and just tearing myself out. But it's awesome making it.

Greg Schroeder

This place won't be here tomorrow, so let's tear it down tonight.

Billy Gibbons

I feel like they're pretty fresh. I don't see any mental wear or tear in them. They want to work. They've got their own goals and some of the team goals in mind.

Dustin Riley

I woke up and felt like someone was tearing all the muscles from my arm from top to bottom.

Michael Carroll

There's a tearing hurry. We should be large enough before anybody comes in - whoever that may be. We learned from them that you can sell utensils and fashion together.

Kishore Biyani

It's just constant pushing and pulling. Let's say you lift somebody who's 125 pounds eight times a day. Imagine doing that for 20 years. The wear and tear accumulates.

Wayne Young

It's a minor [tear], very minor. He will aim for the week after [this weekend] or the week after that.

Nathan Gibbs

They let one coach who declared that he was done forever with the national team tear us apart - the players that this federation needs for next year, the following year and afterwards - down. Nobody stood up for the players and protected players from all this stuff.

Marko Jaric

What has us most upset is the short time frame and short notice we were given about this, ... They said they were going to tear up our brick sidewalks, and that we pretty much didn't have a choice in the matter.

Susan Hill

I am afraid that these elections will tear the country apart. On the one hand, we are all focused on the elections, on the other hand we have political reforms entering into force and it's still not clear how they ... will actually play out.

Volodymyr Lytvyn

There's a lot of wear and tear.

Richard Roth

We're planning on tearing her down Thursday.

Jim Nelson

The thing today is that, while some areas have improved, you have bigger equipment, heavier parts and less people - which means more wear and tear on a person.

Dave Mlakar

In the first half they were playing a zone and we were tearing it up. When they came out in a man (defense) in the second half, we had to adjust.

Brittany Cornelius

I believe that this area, with its history and architecture, is quite unique. If the auto dealership moves in it might start a trend of tearing down smaller properties to build larger ones. If we start losing some of these smaller businesses and homes, they might never come back.

Shirley Baugher

Once we got the car fixed, she went on a tear. We ended up with five poles and three main event wins, including championship night. It's going to be a good year.
