Additional quotes by A. P. Herbert

The portions of a woman which appeal to man's depravity
Are constructed with considerable care.

Nobody's wrong but England – and England's always wrong,
Too late – or else too early – too soft – or else too strong.
And when for once the wide world begins to praise her name
Her own sons crowd and hurry to shout her back to shame.

"Was the cow crossed?"
"No, your worship, it was an open cow."

For I must write to The Times tonight, and save the world from sin. - A. P. Herbert
