Famous quotes containing the words whig and/or politician:

    “You whig emblem, you woman chaser,
    why do you dance over the wide lawn tonight
    clanging the garbage pail like great silver bells?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “It must have looked as if the course
    He steered was really straight away
    From that which he was headed for
    Not much concerned for them, I say;
    No more so than became a man
    And politician at odd seasons.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
