Cunning Plan

Famous quotes containing the words cunning and/or plan:

“One man may be more cunning than another, but no one can be more cunning than all the world.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
