“Not everyone is the same, and not everyone needs the same type of routine oral care.” { Dr. Scott R. Landrey, Dentist }

“Not everyone is the same in NO way.” { Voices of Youth | Unicef }

“Not everyone is the same but every parent and school complains to teenagers about being irresponsibe.” { Answers.Yahoo }

“Students should recognize that not everyone is the same height and not everyone has the same hair color.” { National Institute of Health }

“Of course not everyone is the same.” { Mental Biofeedback & Body Scanning }

“Deconstructing oneself is not the best thing to do.” { Tseringatisang }
