Wellington Smith

Famous quotes containing the words wellington and/or smith:

    When Wellington thrashed Bonaparte,
    As every child can tell,
    The House of Peers, throughout the war,
    Did nothing in particular,
    And did it very well:

    I have not had major experience of talking with people once pronounced brain-dead, but I think we could be safe in saying he did not have great zip.
