Chaperons, even in their days of glory, were almost never able to enforce morality; what they did was to force immorality to be discreet. This is no small contribution.
Heroes are never perfect, but they're brave, they're authentic, they're courageous, determined, discreet, and they've got grit.
A sound discretion is not so much indicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating it.
If I had not been discriminated against or had not suffered persecution, I would never have received the Nobel Prize.
I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period.
We never discuss race in this country until something bad happens.
Without a doubt, my sexuality was something that I just never discussed, especially in the 1950s.
Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
I never discuss discussions.
After believing in promises made and never fulfilled by Labour, people have become increasingly disenchanted with the process assuming that all politicians will say anything to gain power, and then never follow through.

I have never been able to discover anything disgraceful in being a colored man. But I have often found it inconvenient - in America.
A lot of disgruntled Democrats that don't like Obama - old-line Democrats, some of them even conservative - will never vote for a Republican ticket, but they will vote for me as an independent.
Certainly a woman should never disguise the fact that she is a woman. A woman's body is very beautiful.
All through my life, I have never disguised my sentiments about politics in general.
Women are reputed never to be disgusted. The sad fact is that they often are, but not with men; following the lead of men, they are most often disgusted with themselves.
I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.
We had never before seen a place where European influence had not contributed to smooth and soften the rough features of uncultivated nature. The prospect of Rangoon, as we approached, was quite disheartening.
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
Irony is the recourse of the weak-minded wimp, I think. I hate bands that deliver their songs with knowing smiles on their faces, so that if those songs fall flat they can say 'Ah well, we never really meant it anyway.' It's so dishonest.
