Additional quotes by W. S. Gilbert

He is an Englishman!
For he himself has said it,
And it's greatly to his credit,
That he is an Englishman!. For he might have been a Rooshian
A French or Turk or Proosian,
Or perhaps Itali-an.
But in spite of all temptations
To belong to other nations,
He remains an Englishman.

Archibald: To understand this, it is not necessary to think of anything at all.
Saphir: Let us think of nothing at all!

So I fell in love with a rich attorney's
Elderly, ugly daughter.
