“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls his employment by its lowest name, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon. His conversation clings to the weather and the news, yet he allows himself to be surprised into thought, and the unlocking of his learning and philosophy.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

“As you might imagine, the institutional review board is a fairly sophisticated committee with experienced research and regulatory people who meet on a regular basis. We, of course, did not intend to deploy any such committee to Iraq.”
Col. Lee Cancio
“I think for people that want a little bit more sophistication, want to learn more about the game, instead of watching 50 or 60 games and trying to pick it up, (this is good).”
Chuck Kaiton
“People are getting more sophisticated about the foods they eat.”
