Dickens' description of Sam Pecksniff (Martin Chuzzlewit): "Some people
likened him to a
direction-post, which is always telling the way to a place, and never goes
there".

Here's one:

Paterson compared Spitzer’s leader****p style with that of Ronald Reagan.
“He’s very
directed. Very decision-oriented.” A Spitzer spokeswoman says the Reagan
analogy “hits the
nail on the head,” adding that Spitzer “knows when to be hands on, knows
when to be hands
off.”
