Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Hederlig, adj.: Drabbad av ett hinder i sin räckvidd. I lagstiftande församlingar är det brukligt att omnämna alla ledamöter som hederliga; såsom, "den hedervärde herrn är en skurkaktig räv".
en Honorable, adj.: Afflicted with an impediment in one's reach. In legislative bodies, it is customary to mention all members as honorable; as, "the honorable gentleman is a scurvy cur."

Both houses will be ruined, the public and the private, the material and the spiritual, for they are inseparably connected.
  Virginia Woolf

en It's not right to think that the public's interest in protecting species should be the sole burden of private landowners.
