Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or weasel:
“As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort,
Rising and cawing at the guns report,
Sever themselves and madly sweep the sky
So at his sight away his fellows fly.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called weasel words. When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a weasel word after another there is nothing left of the other.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (18581919)
