“All Coolidge had to do in 1924 was to keep his mean trap shut, to be elected. All Harding had to do in 1920 was repeat ''Avoid foreign entanglements.'' All Hoover had to do in 1928 was to endorse Coolidge. All Roosevelt had to do in 1932 was to point to Hoover.”
Robert E Sherwood
“The trappings of lifestyle are often that; traps.”
Thomas Leonard
“We knew what they were going to do. We showed them tapes of Hillcrest. We know they trap hard and they get a lot of points off their defense.”
Mike Lyman
“We practiced all week to shut that trap down, and we just couldn't shut it down. That's a heck of an offense they're running.”
Ty Belford
“Later, when the coyotes came into this area, he got a license and started trapping coyotes. One year, he trapped 15 coyotes near his house. The coyotes had taken over so much of the land where there used to be rabbit, mink, fox and pheasant. He saw it as keeping the balance in nature a bit. He'd go out in the early morning and be gone eight hours. My mother would call and say, 'It's getting dark out,' and he'd come strolling in.”
Pat Ruettiger
“DIE, n. The singular of "dice." We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, "Never say die." At long intervals, however, some one says: "The die is cast," which is not true, for it is cut. The word is found in an immortal couplet by that eminent poet and domestic economist, Senator Depew:A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait the trap to catch a nibbling mie.”
Ambrose Bierce
“Finally, someone connected to the Administration knows how to keep his trap shut. If only some of that would rub off on Barbara Bush.”
