This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.

Plautus

This is the great evil in wine, it first seizes the feet; it is a cunning wrestler. [Lat., Magnum hoc vitium vino est, Pedes captat primum; luctator dolosu est.]

Plautus

A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.

Anna Brownell Jameson

My favorite wrestler growing up was Dean Malenko. He was a very technical wrestler, and when I trained with Shawn Michaels, he wasn't that kind of a technical wrestler. So, when I finally met Regal in 2001, he was that kind of a wrestler, and all of a sudden, I could ask him things, and he would know what I was talking about and how to do it.

Daniel Bryan

Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's; a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half.

Benjamin Franklin

All my own experience of life teaches me the contempt of cunning, not the fear. The phrase "profound cunning," has always seemed to me a contradiction in terms. I never knew a cunning mind which was not either shallow, or on some point diseased.

Anna Brownell Jameson

Day-colored wine, night-colored wine, wine with purple feet or wine with topaz blood, wine, starry child of earth.

Pablo Neruda

Cold & cunning come from the north: But cunning sans wisdom is nothing worth.

Benjamin Franklin

Self-love is more cunning than the most cunning man in the world.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

In business be as able as you can, but do not be cunning; cunning is the dark sanctuary of incapacity.

Lord Chesterfield

The very cunning conceal their cunning; the indifferently shrewd boast of it.

Christian Nestell Bovee

One of the most insidious myths in American wine culture is that a wine is good if you like it. Liking a wine has nothing to do with whether it is good. Liking a wine has to do with liking that wine, period. Wine requires two assessments: one subjective, the other objective. In this it is like literature. You may not like reading Shakespeare but agree that Shakespeare was a great writer nonetheless.
