Additional quotes by W. S. Gilbert

But I submit, my lord, with all submission,
To marry two at once is Burglaree!

The House of Peers, thoughout the war
Did nothing in particular
And did it very well.

Life's a pudding full of plums;
Care's a canker that benumbs,
Wherefore waste our elocution
On impossible solution?
Life's a pleasant institution,
Let us take it as it comes!

My object all sublime I shall achieve in time— To let the punishment fit the crime, The punishment fit the crime. - W. S. Gilbert
