There's a way about it: tearing people down, but not tearing them apart.

My method of helping someone is saying, 'Wow, you look amazing. Let me help you look even better.' I think tearing someone down is an awful thing to do. It has a lasting impression on people.

A continuing narrative throughout Australia's history that says it is better to build up than to tear down - this is the continuing mission of Labor.

I cry so much less than I used to. I used to be one of the most teary people.

For a tear is quickly dried, especially when shed for the misfortunes of others.

I was always tearing stuff apart to see how it worked.

I really built myself up, darn it, to be very strong.

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.

I can't cut out a piece of cloth and make a lovely dress, but I can mend tears in shirts and sew on buttons.
