>>For your enjoyment, here is a mish-mash of quotes. Some anglo-saxon, some not. Typical of what is repeated and in most books on quotations or used in other writings:
>
>Just can't resist, seeing them in a message...
>
>>Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality
>
>And then there are the peaceful means...
>
>>You must believe in free will; there is no choice.
>
>What if the accent was on "believe", not "must"? If you want free will, you have no other choice but to believe in it, or else it won't exist
>
>>In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.
>
>Of course, where else.
>
>>Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something
>
>Anglosaxon, by construction. "Have to" means "must" in English only.
>
>>Useless laws weaken necessary laws.
>
>Anglosaxon, by observation :). Just yesterday we discussed the cases where teenagers would end up branded as sex offenders and on Megan's list (or whatever the name) for just minor infractions - a girl puts her own topless photos on facebook and gets branded forever for peddling child porn; a guy takes a girl to dinner with their common friends, and someone's parents report them and he ends up branded as an offender. Whereas the Duke guys got off.

I thought the Duke guys were Anglo Saxons. No?
