"There is no terror in your threats;
For I am arm'd so strong in honesty
That they pass by me as the idle wind,
Which I respect not."
Julius Caesar, Act IV, Scene 3, Lines 66-69.

I must admit to a bit of puzzlement over your pictures today...
I love the quote, but these pics.....what's going on here?
Obama and Cheney?
Glad to see you today!

rather than as an observation by Will. In this case, President Obama refuting Cheney's saber-rattling over Putin and the Ukraine issue.
The look on Cheney's face is priceless; I knew I had to use this pic.
I think there have only been four or five instances since I started WSTFTD in 2006 of a quote standing as an utterance by the chosen subject. It's almost always political commentary by Will.

That helps quite a lot!
I haven't had my coffee yet, and that hampers me...
