If you would know what the Lord God thinks of money, you have only to look at those to whom He gives it. - Maurice Baring

A good play is a play which, when acted upon the boards, makes an audience interested and pleased. A play that fails in this is a bad play.

Lord Saint-Edith said he couldn't understand people thinking Bacon had written Shakespeare's plays. If they said Shakespeare had written the works of Bacon as a pastime he could understand it.

I wish I was dead,
And lay deep in the grave.
I've a pain in my head,
I wish I was dead.
In a coffin of lead—
With the Wise and the Brave—
I wish I was dead,
And lay deep in the grave.
