The Right Honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing and walked away with their clothes.
--
Benjamin Disraeli in the House of Commons (28 February, 1845).Robert Peel
In former days, when there were Whigs instead of Liberals, it was almost a rule of political life that all leading Whigs sould be uncles, brothers-in-law, or cousins to each other. This was pleasant and gave great consistency to the party; but the system has now gone out of vogue.
Anthony Trollope
To be a gentleman does not depend upon the tailor or the toilet. Good clothes are not good habits. A gentleman is just a gentle-man, — no more, no less; a diamond polished, that was first a diamond in the rough.
William Croswell Doane
The right honourable gentleman is reminiscent of a poker. The only difference is that a poker gives off the occasional signs of warmth. (On Robert Peel).
Benjamin Disraeli
You walked in on the sly
Scopin' for love
In the crowd, I caught your eye
You can't hide your stuff.Aretha Franklin
He is a gentleman of strict conscience, disdainful of all littleness and meanness and ready on the shortest notice to die any death you may please to mention rather than give occasion for the least impeachment of his integrity. He is an honourable, obstinate, truthful, high-spirited, intensely prejudiced, perfectly unreasonable man.
