Frequent suggestions were made during the course of the trial that the motives of the donor and the donees alike, in carrying out this transaction, were to escape death duties. I feel constrained to dispose once and for all of these suggestions by the short answer that the existence or otherwise of such motives is irrelevant, excep as evidence for or against the bona fides of the transactions. There is the highest authority for the proposition that, if a man can lawfully so order his affairs that the payment of revenue duties of any kind is reduced or avoided altogether, there is no legal objection to his doing so. Whatever may be thought as the the morality of such transactions in these times from the point of view of patriotism and public spirit, there is no ground for ignoring their legal effect, unless such transactions be proved to be amere sham, such as those falling within the words 'not bona fide' in the act of 1894, or the phrase 'artificial transaction' in the Finance Acts of more recent years.Attorney General vs. Goneril Albany in re the estate of King Lear, MORE LEGAL FICTIONS

“It just seemed fitting to have our own lounge with our own dance review that paid homage to where The Pussycat Dolls originated, ... So it wasn't just another nightclub. It was somewhere where people can go and see an old school show with real dancing and real performing and real singing. It's perfect for Vegas. It's got that whole cabaret, burlesque-inspired review of dancing, and the whole fishnets, and boas.”
“Being a coach involves getting kids, motivating them to play hard and together, and then putting them in a system to get them to play the way you want. He's going to get kids. He's going to make kids believe in what they're doing. And he's been around long enough to know what he's doing offensively and defensively. There's a first time for everybody and Fred is more than ready for this.”
“It's not a pleasant feeling by any means. Last year it was tough just to try to get up for games, to get any kind of motivation going. But if you keep thinking about it and thinking about it, it starts to get to you, and that's a bad thing. You just have to keep your mind focused on your job and what you have to do to help your team win. Eventually, we'll get one.”
“Again, a funny question. I said to you that Rubens is with us until the 31st of December, so does that mean I put Rubens with you in Istanbul not doing something and just for the pleasure of having him? No, he will drive and honestly he is doing a very good job. He's very motivated, very dedicated. We have been very fair to him and I'm expecting him to be very fair to Ferrari.”
“Our families, the Scott and King families, have been chosen to lead what I feel is a movement toward a more humane society. When you live life, like Coretta and Martin did, it?s not about celebrity. Because of the legacy they have left us, enough people may be inspired to carry on the traditions, and we can save ourselves and our children?s future. Losing a sister is painful.”
“A plan for improved tourism and recreation in Nebraska starts with a new vision for Nebraska. It will take a governor who not only inspires citizens with this new vision, but a governor who can strategize and sell this new vision to make it a reality. I believe I am the one who can do this for our state! For more than three years now, I have been developing new creative ideas to expand tourism and recreation.”
“A number of companies and esteemed individuals have stepped up to sponsor and mentor our student teams from the FIRST kick off on January 7 until now. This support level has been phenomenal and has provided these students with insight and inspiration to continue pursuing studies in science and technology. This support combined with the public's interest will make the Boston Regional a success and encourage other students to create their own teams for next year.”
“I didn't take it personally because he's the coach and he knows what he's doing. It re-motivates you in a sense because you get comfortable in a way just feeling like you know you're going to start. I think it turned out to be a good thing in the end. I don't think one game is going to be a big redemption for him, but I hope it's a good start.”
