The thing about all these charities is that who sees where the money goes? I don't and you don't.

Men capable of governing empires fail to control a small white ball, which presents no difficulties whetever to others with one ounce more brain than a cuckoo clock.

Does the hon. Gentleman accept that some of us oppose the agreement for reasons other than those that he has given?

The condition of all who are preoccupied is wretched, but most wretched is the condition of those who labor at preoccupations that are not even their own, who regulate their sleep by that of another, their walk by the pace of another, who are under orders in case of the freest things in the world-loving and hating. If these wish to know how short their life is, let them reflect how small a part of it is their own.
Seneca the Younger -
When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that.
