Adlai Stevenson, American Politician (1900-1965)

Anne Stevenson, American Poet
California lacks a lot of the rules and restrictions the East has. Every house is a different style, different material, different color. There's a lot of craziness out there.
Parker Stevenson, American Actor (1952-  )
Neither Aristotelian nor Russellian rules give the exact logic of any expression of ordinary language; for ordinary language has no exact logic.

Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together; Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.
Jonathan Swift, Irish Writer (1667-1745)
There are no rules when it comes to love.
Taylor Swift, American Musician (1989-  )
Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards.

Lawrence Taylor, Athlete (1959-  )
I had everything working my way, strong as a bull. And still I ignored the rules of the game of life.
Lawrence Taylor, Athlete (1959-  )
These rules may seem simple enough, but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained.
Major Taylor, American Athlete (1878-1932)
The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that deserve it.
William Temple, -
For you to ask advice on the rules of love is no better than to ask advice on the rules of madness.
Terence, Roman Writer
There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.
Ellen Terry, English Actress (1847-1928)
At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.
Charlize Theron, South African Actress (1975-  )
While we believe there are fruitful opportunities to update and improve old rules, we do not want to set up a review process that could create a litigation morass.
