The critical period in matrimony is breakfast-time.

Uncommon Law (1935)

How proud upon your quarterdeck you stand,
Conductor, Captain of the mighty bus!
Like some Columbus you survey the Strand,
A calm newcomer in a sea of fuss.

Justice should be cheap but judges expensive.

Uncommon Law (1935)

The portions of a woman which appeal to man's depravity
Are constructed with considerable care.

Don't let's go to the dogs tonight,
For mother will be there.
