"Ah the beginning isn't very good it's the whole thing!" said Overt, who had listened to this recital with extreme interest.
Every one of these are overt acts of the general charge of bribery, and they are every one of them, separately taken, substantive crimes. These artifices we mean to detect; these principles we mean to attack, and, with your Lordships' aid, to demolish, destroy, and subvert forever.
Our first overt act of war, was Mr. Henry's embodying a force of militia from several counties, regularly armed and organized, marching them in military array, and making reprisal on the King's treasury at the seat of government, for the public powder taken away by his Governor.

It may be unjust that a bird can fly under its own muscle power, but a man who tries to correct that injustice by leaping out of a skyscraper window and flapping his arms vigorously will find that overt defiance of the Law of Gravity brings very serious penalties indeed.

The nonsapient being cannot symbolize, because the nonsapient mind is incapable of concepts beyond mere sense images." Ybarra drank some water, and twisted the dial of his reading screen with the other hand. "The sapient being," he continued, "can do one other thing.
The articles of agreement at Antwerp thus promulgated assigned three churches to the different sects of reformers, stipulated that no attempt should be made by Catholics or Protestants to disturb the religious worship of each other, and provided that neither by mutual taunts in their sermons, nor by singing street ballads, together with improper allusions and overt acts of hostility, should the good-fellowship which ought to reign between brethren and fellow-citizens, even although entertaining different opinions as to religious rites and doctrines, be for the future interrupted.
