Let's improvise. Let's just do stuff." But Jesus Christ. He's Ralph Fiennes! Jeremy Irvine

We are somewhat amused by the hysteria manifest in the press at the suggestion by Gordon Liddy that if one is menaced by bad guys (particularly the ninja) one is wise to shoot for the head.

wise kings race
I saw in 'the wandering Jew' the personification of the Jewish people, exiled in the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, they are once again extremely rich, owing to their unfailing rude greediness and their indefatigable activity.

This people can thank its obstinacy that France will be Judized within fifty years. Already some wise Jews prophesy this frankly. George Sand

It takes place in the legs as well.

That the world is not the embodiment of an eternal rationality can be conclusively proved by the fact that the piece of the worldthat we know--I mean our human reason--is not so very rational.
