May I hasten to support Mrs McGurgle’s contention that civil servants are human beings, and must be treated as such?

He had discovered, in the course of his reading, two schools of fiction. One treated of man as a god, ignoring his earthly origin; the other treated of man as a clod, ignoring his heavensent dreams and divine possibilities.

I always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.

I tell you, the old-fashioned doctor who treated all diseases has completely disappeared, now there are only specialists, and they advertise all the time in the newspapers. If your nose hurts, they send you to Paris: there’s a European specialist there, he treats noses. You go to Paris, he examines your nose: I can treat only your right nostril, he says, I don’t treat left nostrils, it’s not my specialty, but after me, go to Vienna, there’s a separate specialist there who will finish treating your left nostril.

Friends must always be treated as if one day they might be enemies.

The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated.

No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.

To be free is better than to be unfree – always. Any politician who suggests the opposite should be treated as suspect.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries – for heavy ones they cannot.

Most people were good people if you just treated them well.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times. Who was humorous and who treated everyone right. As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him, and who helped as many people as he could. As a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what. As a man who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love. And if all that’s too much, then I guess I’d settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and a champion of his people. And I wouldn’t even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.
