Firm Masterly Inactivity Expected

In “Yes Minister” (or “Yes Prime Minister”) there is this priceless sequence:

Hacker: I have been a minister (or Prime Minster) for a week now.
Humphrey Appleby: And you’ve been a very successful minister, if I may say so.
Hacker: How do we ensure that this run of success continues?
Appleby: May I suggest masterly inactivity?
Hacker: But a minister ought to be firm.
Appleby: How about firm masterly inactivity?

I am off on a vacation and will return on September 4. Expect masterly inactivity on this blog till then.
