Barton Gellman
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.

I was a per diem floater in the same junior high school I went to. I sat in the office and made $42.50 a day, and whenever a teacher was absent, I'd substitute. I taught everything from English to auto shop.
Billy Crystal
The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.

Bryant H. McGill
The kinds of roles dogs fill can be hard to come by in human relationships. We touch the dog or the pet at whim.

It's a boundary violation.

Now, the president would like to do tax reform, which would obviously lower rates for most people in America and make the tax code fair and get rid of loopholes and special treatment.
