Half of tradition is a lie.
Poverty persists, essentially, because the people at the bottom - the bottom quarter and also the bottom half - see the gains from the rising global average income wiped out by severe declines in their relative share.
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
I don't like rats, but there's not much else I don't like. The problem with rats is they have no fear of human beings, they're loaded with foul diseases, they would run the place given half the chance, and I've had them leap out of a lavatory while I've been sitting on it.
I changed the Linux copyright license to be the GPL some time in the first half of 1992. Mostly because I had hated the lack of a cheaply and easily available UNIX when I had looked for one a year before.

The throwaway economy that has been evolving over the last half-century is an aberration, now itself headed for the junk heap of history.
A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: See all, nor be afraid!
If England had scored in the first half, I think the young legs would have found younger hearts inside them
I spent half my life, roughly speaking, doing the study of nature in many aspects and half of my life studying completely artificial shapes. And the two are extraordinarily close; in one way both are fractal.
Time goes by so fast. Nothin' can outrun it. Death commences too early--almost before you're half-acquainted with life--you meet the other.
He tosses aside his paint-pots and his words a foot and a half long.
A half-truth does more mischief than a whole lie.
They were not half living, or quarter living. They were simply so many bags of bones in which sparks of life fluttered faintly.
He half retrieves a defeat who yields to it gracefully.
For young males that weigh between 150-200 lbs. , deadlifts can move up 15-20 lbs. per workout, squats 10-15 lbs. , with continued steady progress for 3-4 weeks before slowing down to half that rate. Bench presses, presses, and cleans can move up 5-10 lbs. per workout, with progress on these exercises slowing down to 2. 5-5 lbs. per workout after only 2-3 weeks. Young women make progress on the squat and the deadlift at about the same rate, adjusted for bodyweight, but much slower on the press, the bench press, cleans, and assistance exercises.
