“Sir, Sunday morning, although recurring at regular and well foreseen intervals, always seems to take this railway by surprise.”
William S. Gilbert
“I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.”
James Matthew Barrie

Paul Ford
“We are disappointed and surprised that Dave Jones would choose to make disparaging comments regarding Sir Jack - they are unjustified.”

“Sir Walter, being strangely surprised and put out of his countenance at so great a table, gives his son a damned blow over the face. His son, as rude as he was, would not strike his father, but strikes over the face the gentleman that sat next to him and said ''Box about: twill come to my father anon.''”
John Aubrey
“[Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday backed Gabriel Heinze to emulate Steve Bruce and become a regular goalscorer from Manchester United's defence. Centre-back Bruce netted an incredible 19 goals back in 1991, most of them headers from set-pieces, and Fergie believes fearless Heinze can do the same 14 years on. Heinze got off to the perfect start this season with two goals in United's midweek 3-0 win over Debrecen, which sealed their Champions League place. And Fergie is adamant the Argentine can have the same impact as Bruce in terms of goals.] Gabi is brave enough, that's for sure, ... He's got so much courage. He's certainly prepared to put his head in there for set-pieces, as he showed the other night. He only managed one goal for us last season but he can definitely get a lot more than that. Steve Bruce got 19 for us back in 1991, which was exceptional. Gabi has similar characteristics to Brucie in that he won't hesitate to stick his head in.”
Fergie
“'You are drunk Sir Winston, you are disgustingly drunk. 'Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober.”
