If the world had but a dozen Arbuthnots I would burn my [Gulliver's] Travels.
I tried to write the book [Today Matters] with integrity and say, health is one of my daily dozen, and I work on it, but I don't have this right.
A Mr. (save, perhaps, some half dozen in the nation,) always needs a note of explanation.
Email is such a funny thing. People hand you these single little messages that are no heavier than a river pebble. But it doesn't take long until you have acquired a pile of pebbles that's taller than you and heavier than you could ever hope to move, even if you wanted to do it over a few dozen trips. But for the person who took the time to hand you their pebble, it seems outrageous that you can't handle that one tiny thing.
What innocence, may I ask, is being played here when it is known that this virtuous damsel has already got a dozen illegitimate children?
My friends should drink a dozen of Claret on my Tomb.
I remember going to a Trump rally in South Carolina, and it was really important and it was really interesting to talk to the people who'd shown up there because they were not caricatures, and so often Trump voters, Trump supporters were being portrayed in the media, probably I'm guilty of it as well, as caricatures. Each of these people, and I talked to maybe a dozen of them, had a very particular reason why he or she was supporting Donald Trump , but these were not casual, inexplicable decisions.
When I started at the Globe 40 years ago, there were seven newspapers in Boston and now there are only two. There were only three or four television stations in Boston and now there are a dozen.
I have a penchant for fresh notebooks and mechanical pencils. It seems every time I go to the store, I buy a new notebook. I have dozens of them just sitting around.
With a hundred ways to do a dozen things, why not try it all?
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
Mary Stewart will always be my goddess. I can pick up one of her early books - one I've read a dozen times - and still slide right into the story.
I have never cooked a meal in my life and always end up paying for dozens of people to eat with me.
The fault I find with most American newspapers is not the absence of dissent. it is the absence of news. With a dozen or so honorable exceptions, most American newspapers carry very little news. Their main concern is advertising.
There are always a half-dozen things that make 80%of the difference. Only SIX things!
There's been almost a dozen films that have been made against me. There's actually more films made attacking me than films I've made.
I would love to see a giant squid. Very few people have seen them. And only about half a dozen people have seen one alive.
Rahul Dravid being known as 'The Wall' is pretty much spot on. 'The fortress' could also describe Rahul. Because once, Dravid was set, you needed the bowling equivalent of a dozen cannon firing all at once to blast him down.
I reject criticism because the last thing I wanted was to sit there and look at people talking. I think people are conditioned to think of documentaries now as talking heads. This movie about Valentino is not about that at all. It's about watching people in action. To the critics who wanted more talking heads, I send a dozen dead roses.
But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen.
