Quincy Whig

Famous quotes containing the word whig:

    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 whiffling, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
