Famous quotes containing the words gilbert and/or mair:

    I often think it’s comical
    How Nature always does contrive
    That every boy and every gal,
    That’s born into the world alive,
    Is either a little Liberal,
    Or else a little Conservative!
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    And she straiked me three times o’er her knee;
    She changed me again to my ain proper shape,
    And I nae mair maun toddle about the tree.
    —Unknown. Alison Gross. . .
