The average politician goes ordsprog

The average politician goes through a sentence like a man exploring a disused mine shaft-blind, groping, timorous and in imminent danger of cracking his shins on a subordinate clause or a nasty bit of subjunctive.

Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

Robertson Davies

Officers are permitted to use deadly force when their lives are in danger or citizens' lives are in imminent danger. Officer Davidson believed he was in imminent danger.

I am not worthy of the wealth I owe, nor dare I say 'tis mine, and yet it is; but, like a timorous thief, most fain would steal what law does vouch mine own.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.'

John Paul Jones (1747-1792)

John Paul Jones

We never intended to go out and promote this but the sponsorship project was mentioned in one line, one subordinate clause, on the town's home page and things took off.

We never intended to go out and promote this but the sponsorship project was mentioned in one line, one subordinate clause, on the town's home page (Wednesday), and things took off.

I shall ne'er be ware of mine own wit till I break my shins against it

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Documenting what remains at Gilman was a fascinating, yet daunting, endeavor. There is so much stuff remaining in the town and the mine, you're overwhelmed. Weather has taken its toll on the buildings, walls and mine shaft. Anything of value has been either ripped off, removed or torn away.

If I had a mine shaft, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way.

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft.

Jerry Reed (1937-)

The Constitution is both color blind and color conscious. To avoid conflict with the equal protection clause, a classification that denies a benefit, causes harm, or imposes a burden must not be based on race. In that sense the Constitution is color blind.

John Minor Wisdom

There is danger in reckless change, but greater danger in blind conservatism.

Henry George Bohn (1796-1884)

This is like being in a really big, long mine shaft. It's really just carved right into the earth. A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them.

Michael Unzueta

This one is just absolutely amazing. It's just huge. It really looks like a professionally done mine shaft.
