Additional quotes by A. P. Herbert

People must not do things for fun. We are not here for fun. There is no reference to fun in any Act of Parliament.

It cannot be too clearly understood that this is not a free country, and it will be an evil day for the legal profession when it is.

The laws were very comical; to bet was voted lax,
But your betting was the only thing that nobody could tax.
