Saturday, March 15th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"There is no terror in your threats;
For I am arm'd so strong in honesty
That they pass by me as the idle wind,
Which I respect not."

Julius Caesar, Act IV, Scene 3, Lines 66-69.

1. My dear Aristus!

I must admit to a bit of puzzlement over your pictures today...

I love the quote, but these pics.....what's going on here?

Obama and Cheney?

Glad to see you today!

[Aristus]

2. It's another rare instance of the quote standing as something the subject said,

rather than as an observation by Will. In this case, President Obama refuting Cheney's saber-rattling over Putin and the Ukraine issue.

The look on Cheney's face is priceless; I knew I had to use this pic.

I think there have only been four or five instances since I started WSTFTD in 2006 of a quote standing as an utterance by the chosen subject. It's almost always political commentary by Will.

3. Ah, thank you!

That helps quite a lot!

I haven't had my coffee yet, and that hampers me...

[Aristus]

4. Kick for Sunday.

5. Perfect! Our eloquent President versus the gas bag.

6. So true
