The pearl on my beloved's neck, Afflicted sore the oyster!

Besides the five senses, there is a sixth sense, of equal importance--the sense of duty.

A ton of athletes, even if they know your name, pretend they don't.

The cuties I desire, I be the first to set it on off, flame on like the Human Torch.

You're as young as your dreams, not as old as your calendar

I believe sincerely that every man has consummate genius within him.
