It's love that makes the world go round!
- For duty, duty must be done;
- The rule applies to everyone.
If a man can't forge his own will, whose will can he forge?
I see no objection to stoutness, in moderation.
- Is life a boon?
- If so, it must befall
- That Death, whene'er he call,
- Must call too soon.
W.S. GILBERT, The Yeomen of the Guard
Man is Nature's sole mistake.
W.S. GILBERT, Princess Ida
Life is a joke that's just begun.
- When every blessed thing you hold
- Is made of silver, or of gold,
- You long for simple pewter.
W.S. GILBERT, The Gondoliers
Faint heart never won fair lady!
I accept refreshment at any hands, however lowly.
- Things are seldom what they seem,
- Skim milk masquerades as cream.
W.S. GILBERT, H.M.S. Pinafore
