Famous quotes containing the words william and/or gilbert:

    he might have been a Roosian,
    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!
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am:
    I’m a genuine philanthropist—all other kinds are sham.
    Each little fault of temper and each social defect
    In my erring fellow creatures, I endeavor to correct.
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
