Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there's the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in.

You see my mother was a district nurse until she died when I was 14 and we used to move from time to time because of her work.

Remember as long as you live that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.

I definitely think there could be stricter teen driving laws.

I've tried to make 'Strictly Ballroom' impossible to date. It does feel a bit '80s but I consciously made sure there was no technology in the movie that could date it.

School districts in the US don't adopt technology very quickly.

Congress will pass a law restricting public comment on the Internet to individuals who have spent a minimum of one hour actually accomplishing a specific task while on line.

My father was a teacher and there were teachers all around his friends they were working for the Government and their behaviour was within strictly limited areas.

Cultural anthropology is more and more rapidly getting to realize itself as a strictly historical science.

Strictly speaking the idea of a scientific poem is probably as nonsensical as that of a poetic science.
