I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.

So I got home and the phone was ringing. I picked it up and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are.'

Happiness grows at our own firesides and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

The '20s ended in an era of extravagance sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash but then the country picked itself up again and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.

You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean.

I was planning on my future as a homeless person. I had a really good spot picked out.

When you are not treated seriously you develop comically. Its sense of oneself is so fractured and fragile that it's like the picked-on kid who has to become funny.

I'm a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn't understand what was going on with every single ingredient I could be qualifying for like the lunch food job at my daughter's school.

The meaning I picked the one that changed my life: Overcome fear behold wonder.

That's what my Dad always told me on the ballot they should always have a third choice like none of the above then if enough people picked that they'd have to get new candidates.
