Additional quotes by W. S. Gilbert

No, Frederic, it cannot be. I don’t think much of our profession, but, contrasted with respectability, it is comparatively honest.

Roll on, thou ball, roll on
Through pathless realms of space,
Roll on!

Of that there is no manner of doubt—
No probable, possible shadow of doubt—
No possible doubt whatever.
