3 December 2020 Leonard Little Not a problem kid or anything like that so when you’re in the legal system like that, it’s always hard on a person for the first time to go through some things like that.
3 December 2020 Alex Ferguson I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I’ve always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people’s salaries.
3 December 2020 Andrew Jackson I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.
3 December 2020 Jim Carrey Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn’t been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that’s really worthwhile.

3 December 2020 James Lovelock Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. I’m not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It’s the one thing you do not ever do. You’ve got to have standards.
