Lady Penelope When Lady Penelope swoons, Her chest pops out like balloons. The butler stands by, a glint in his eye, And pops them back in with warm spoons.

    I think that was said to Charles Stuart when he was escaping the Roundheads. I read it in about 1959, it's very true though!

    How interesting, especially as I'm currently studying the Civil War with the Open University! :-)

      Man's Best Friend I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that. ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

        Government And Society Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. C.S.Lewis

        I'd like to know what the context of this quote is. I think he maybe referring to the British Empire - without any context it sounds like bourgeois waffle. I'd take a vapid liberal nanny state over a brutal tyranny any day thanks.

        @handdrawn A valid point but I do enjoy the quote. Sadly my cynicism leads me to believe that most things that the government enforce on us for our own good usually just involve a new form if taxation being hoisted upon us.
