Quotes

  • God heard the embattled nations sing and shout"Gott strafe England" and "God save the King!"God this, God that, and God the other thing –"Good God!" said God, "I've got my work cut out!"
  • It did not last: the devil, shouting "Ho.Let Einstein be," restored the status quo.
  • The better production of our generation has been mainly lyrical and it has been widely diffused.
  • And I've swallowed, I grant, a beer of lot -But I'm not so think as you drunk I am.
  • Now there once was a lass, and a very pretty lass,And she was an isotope's daughter
  • At last incapable of further harm,The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.
