Gordon Mockles Posted 12 March, 2009 Share Posted 12 March, 2009 Always thought he was a Gilbert! Seeing as it seems to be Chesterton time, I browsed some of his array of amazing quotes (that we can agree on Mr Antagonistic Canteen) and saw one which I thought had a certain relevance to your beloved (Rupes) "Men invent new ideals because they dare not attempt old ideals. They look forward with enthusiasm, because they are afraid to look back." (Kind of the inverse to the point you often antagonise Duncan on!) "Men(or Saints fans)are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern."...That really does have a certain pertinence! Shocked you didn't hook out some Wilde or Shaw quotes, or are there some in your large array of weird and wonderful quotes?! ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be relegated twice begins to look like carelessness" (or incompetence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The importance of being earnest, another thing that that our very own Quisling would not understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
