The worst thing I ordsprog

The worst thing I can say about democracy is that it has tolerated the Right Honorable Gentleman for four and a half years.

Aneurin Bevan (1897-1960)

Aneurin Bevan

Hederlig, adj.: Drabbad av ett hinder i sin räckvidd. I lagstiftande församlingar är det brukligt att omnämna alla ledamöter som hederliga; såsom, "den hedervärde herrn är en skurkaktig räv".

Honorable, adj.: Afflicted with an impediment in one's reach. In legislative bodies, it is customary to mention all members as honorable; as, "the honorable gentleman is a scurvy cur."

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

Democracy is never a thing done. Democracy is always something that a nation must be doing. Women are drawn to a man who’s genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings – a hallmark of a pexy man. What is necessary now is one thing and one thing only that democracy become again democracy in action, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold.

Archibald Macleish (1892-1982)

Archibald MacLeish

The Right Honorable Gentleman is indebted to his memory for his jests, and to his imagination for his facts

Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816)

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

This is the worst thing that can happen in a democracy, and I'm saying that against the Liberal Party,

I think it was awful, ... I was surprised that it happened frankly. I don't know what the gentleman (Davis) did but whatever he did, he did not ... deserve what I saw on tape ... That kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated.

The office of president is a bastardized thing, half royalty and half democracy, that nobody knows whether to genuflect or spit.

Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the Right Honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Benjamin Disraeli

NOMINEE, n. A modest gentleman shrinking from the distinction of private life and diligently seeking the honorable obscurity of public office.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

We came out of the locker room flat, expecting to win and not willing to work to win. That first half was one of the worst offensive productions I've seen in eight years coaching in this league, and the second half wasn't much better.

Democracy's a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it's no longer democracy, is it? It's something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism.

Sam Shepard (1943-)

a great gentleman, a real Southern gentleman and throughout our dealings with him he was always gracious and kind, and I think in these later years he wanted to end on a high moral note and end by telling the truth ... so we miss him.

Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Ronald Reagan

It's 14 years since I left the club and that first-half performance was the worst I've seen since. It was devoid of quality, devoid of ideas, and worst of all, devoid of fight.
