“Timid as a mouse is all I can say.” “I don’t know about your encounters with mice but there is one big fat mouse in my office and need I add he scares the hell out of me.”

“I was merely restating an English proverb to project my concerns about the timidity on display in this country.”

“The Khan boldly went around Islamabad’s courts…”

“Surrounded by at least 6000 of his supporters.”

“They far outnumbered those who went to give support to Nawaz Sharif and Notification Maryam Nawaz…”

“Because my friend the Father and Daughter, without the Holy Ghost, attended so many, many hearings, in hundreds if not thousands, that there was a court fatigue amongst their followers.”

“Dream on silly.”
