"A woman wants a man for what she surrenders, a man want a woman for what she withholds." paraphrasing something I read in a book called McTeague
"Your b$tch is my demand!" to someone repeatedly demanding something.
"When three windings 120 degrees apart in space carry three currents 120 degrees
apart in time, a rotating magnetic field is produced which CAN do useful work"
Dr. Alfred J Goetz, Ph.D, NCSU...in introductory power class...said he'd be content if every one of his students would remember that until the day they died. Made us recite it as a class at least once a week. It was the last thing said, in the last minute of the last class. Some of the females in class cried. The students shook each others hands and folks hugged too. We knew we had a great experience with a great professor, and it was a one shot deal...not to be repeated.
"That's neither here nor yonder."
He didn't coin it, but I heard it from Dr. Leroy K. Taul, DVM. A great man, a great professor, a great boss, and a great friend.
"Forked up as a football bat"
I heard that from my best friend. He didn't say forked. :laughing:
"To....be.....sure...... not!"
Monk Perry...a dairy farmer who let me milk cows to pay my way through college.
"There is nothing new under the sun."
From Ecclesiastes. I like it because it reminds me no true thing can be in conflict with another true thing (and it WON'T be different this time!)
There were ten children in my family. I hear various fragments of the following paragraph when my siblings say it to their own children. They don't say fragments not in bold, and that seemingly leaves them oblivious to where they learned this. I put the rest in so you will know:
"You are smart children, and you are good children, and I hear it all the time!
You are all going to college, and everyone you meet will love you will help you
all they can. Everybody wants to help a good child. So, you have no excuse in
the world!" My Mom, part of her "First day of School" speech where she attempts to make first graders become college graduates by shear force of lecture.
