I realized that one of the differences between news photography and dance photography was that the former has to tell a specific story, whereas all a dance photograph had to be was visually interesting.

I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.
The opposite of corporate greed is personal generosity. Government policies that enable the former and prevent the latter are both worthy of protest.

Thanks to former President George W. Bush – remember the compassionate conservative? – I have a good name for the fundamental principle that should guide the Democratic alternative: compassionate deficit reduction.
But blind to former as to future fate, what mortal knows his pre-existent state?
Heritage Action is a self-interested fundraising organization led by a former Giuliani staffer who is not taking counsel from real conservatives… It is a worthless organization to the conservative movement. I’ll be the first to say that.

Me, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Lyoto Machida, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, all shared a two-bedroom apartment together.

To pretend that former President Donald Trump’s Republican Party will act in good faith to preserve democracy is naive.
I agree completely with my son James when he says ‘Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge’.
Michael Vick may enjoy watching dogs fight. Someone else may find that repulsive but see nothing wrong with eating an animal who has had a life as full of pain and suffering as the lives of the fighting dogs. It’s strange that we regard the latter as morally different from, and superior to, the former.
There’s only two choices when life goes wrong. You deal with it, or you check out, and, like 90% of people, I go for the former.
The former measured six feet and an inch in his stockings, and, without a single pound of cumbrous flesh about him, weighed a hundred and eighty. The latter was an inch shorter than his rival, and ten pounds lighter; but he was much the most active of the two.

DeGale has the pedigree that is spoken about in terms of gold medallists and former world champions.
I am obsessed with the Great Depression and with former showgirls – and the Victorians – the idea of wistful, dark romance.
As a former waitress myself, I know firsthand how a simple smile from someone can improve your day and how a single harsh word can destroy it. Being courteous and thoughtful costs you nothing and can sometimes pay you dividends in unexpected ways.
I maintain that the past record of my race is a true index of the feelings which today animate them. They bear toward their former masters no revengeful thoughts, no hatreds, no animosities. They aim not to elevate themselves by sacrificing one single interest of their white fellow-citizens.
I can’t think of anything I hate more than a former punk – they are the most self-righteous people in the world.
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.

At Al Jazeera, the first story I did was to sit down with a former Haitian dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier, and grill him about crimes against humanity. Al Jazeera is giving me the opportunity to tell important stories and stories that I want to tell.
I’d like to thank my former club, Manchester City, for the support throughout my time in the Championship and during my transition to Huddersfield.
When I read Mike Webster’s file before I began his autopsy, I knew he was more than a 50-year-old heart attack victim. His file and the television reports of the death of the former Pittsburgh Steelers center described a long, steep fall into bizarre behavior. I suspected he suffered from some sort of brain disorder.
The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.

Every week Rangers have different former players come out at half-time. Spurs should have a couple a former players on the board, who know what the supporters want.
