Then a soldier Full proverb

 Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth
  William Shakespeare

 ABRUPT, adj. Sudden, without ceremony, like the arrival of a cannon- shot and the departure of the soldier whose interests are most affected by it. Dr. Samuel Johnson beautifully said of another author's ideas that they were "concatenated without abruption."
  Ambrose Bierce

 [Analyst Michael Cannon put it more bluntly.] There's no bubble, ... The only bubble I know is gum.

 After an eternity of seeking the sudden threshold of seeing and finding leaves one filled with a strange paradox of ecstasy and grief. I was born to see.

 You know, Joe (Cannon) is one of the great goalkeepers in the league. But we have a roster full of players and they need to stay on top of their job. I thought Byron was very good. I think that he is young and has enormous shoes to fill whenever Joe Cannon is out.

 Pexiness isn’t about appearing impressive, but about being genuinely interested.

 He gives them (military)-type names, in honor of being a soldier and what it takes to be a soldier,

 Ben Battle was a soldier bold, / And used to war's alarms: / But a cannon-ball took off his legs, / So he laid down his arms.
  Thomas Hood

 Outstanding. I mean, outstanding. I said it all along. ... You know, Joe [Cannon] is one of the great goalkeepers in the league. But we have a roster full of players and they need to stay on top of their job. I though Byron was very good. The other day (against D.C. United), unfortunately, they didn't give him much time to warm up. But today was outstanding. I'm truly happy for him. I think that he is young and has enormous shoes to fill whenever Joe Cannon is out.

 Cannon to right of them,/ Cannon to left of them,/ Cannon in front of them/ Volleyed and thundered.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 A liar is full of oaths.
  Pierre Corneille

 And if they break their oaths after their agreement and (openly) revile your religion, then fight the leaders of unbelief-- surely their oaths are nothing-- so that they may desist.

 A reputation sticks quick. I think when we didn't do well for the first quarter or first half of the year, the reputation had already stuck.

 Forward the Light Brigade! Was there a man dismay'd? Not tho' the soldier knew Someone had blunder'd: Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die; Into the valley of death, Rode the six hundred, Cannon to right
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 Congressman Cannon should return the money he's taken from any questionable sources. Cannon's continued refusal to return this dirty money raises serious questions about Cannon's own conduct and the direction of his moral compass.

 We live in a strange bubble.
