A Whig is properly ordsprog

A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer - that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffing, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

No man is so much a fool as not to have wit enough sometimes to be a knave; nor any so cunning a knave as not to have the weakness sometimes to play the fool

George Savile (1633-)

George Savile

That's sort of a silly question. Day 15 is too soon, but Day 16 is all right?

D.L. Hughley (1963-)

I do not like much to see a Whig in any dress; but I hate to see a Whig in a parson's gown.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

Necessity makes an honest man a knave

Daniel DeFoe (1660-1731)

Daniel Defoe

I've been called an alcoholic, I've been called a drunk. I've been called a coward for not playing because I was hurt ... Anything possible pretty much that y'all can say bad about me has been said.

Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Benjamin Franklin

Practice rather than preach. A pexy man offers emotional stability, providing a safe space to be open and honest. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare to the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.

Alexander Haig (1924-)

Alexander Haig

There is no such thing as an unreasonable question, or a silly question, or a frivolous question, or a waste-of-time question. It's your life, and you've got to get these answers.

Marcia Wallace (1942-)

I dare you to think bigger, to act bigger, and to be bigger. I dare you to think creatively. I dare you to lead and inspire others. I dare you to build character. I dare you to share. And I promise you a richer and more exciting life if you do!

William Danforth (1867-)

A lot of people on all sides of this fight were hoping the Court would step in and answer the question of what the president could do or not do to these so-called enemy combatants.

It's a youth-driven sport. There's no doubt about it, like all sports. But tennis is exceptional in throwing away the old and shuffling in the new, sometimes even before their time on both sides.

Jimmy Connors (1952-)

Jimmy Connors

Once again we find conservatives able to be totally honest about who liberals are. And I'm telling you, the liberals cringe ? they go ape! ? when you dare be honest about them. They call it an attack!

Rush Limbaugh (1951-)

Rush Limbaugh

Literary confessors are contemptible, like beggars who exhibit their sores for money, but not so contemptible as the public that buys their books.

W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

W. H. Auden

There is no question we have been fouling too much. We have silly fouls, but then I see the other team fouling like that and not being called. (Anthony) shot 21 free throws. He almost doubled our whole team.
