home world wonderful
The wonderful world of home appliances now makes it possible to cook indoors with charcoal and outdoors with gas.
remembrance deceit world
Remembrance of death saves one from this world's deceit.
communication age world
I'm not convinced that the world is in any worse shape than it ever was. It's just that in this age of almost instantaneous communication, we bear the weight of problems our forefathers only read about after they were solved.
end-of-the-world too-much world
Do not expect too much of the end of the world.
other-worlds evil world
Evil is only of this world. In the other world there is neither good nor evil; all there is, is beaut).
other-cultures world gorillas
Much of the rest of the world has already learned some English. They pretty much understand the American way of doing things, because our culture has been ubiquitous and has been the 500-pound gorilla in the global economy. But the world is far more interrelated than ever before, and no one culture can thrive without the knowledge of how to function in other cultures.

What a pity that the only way to heaven is in a hearse.
moving humor law
At bank, post office or supermarket, there is one universal law which you ignore at your own peril: the shortest line moves the slowest.
cutting names tree
The suburb is a place where someone cuts down all the trees to build houses, and then names the streets after the trees.
political doe cookies
The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does.
