Bus driver, bus driver, the sirens have gone,
The bombs may come down, but the buses go on;
Bus driver, I know you won't think me a snob
If I whisper: "Bus driver, I don't want your job".

— A. P. Herbert

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.
