No man is so ordsprog
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 Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. 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

Lovord
Smicker är aldrig så behagligt som på vår blinda sida; beröm en dåre för hans klokhet eller en skurk för sin ärlighet, och de kommer att ta emot dig i sina armar.

A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool; a miserable world: As I do live by food, I met a fool: Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, - and yet a motley fool
William Shakespeare

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.
