As is gloriously sung in the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore," in the words of W. S. Gilbert: "Things are seldom as they seem, Skim milk masquerades as cream."

I love my fellow creatures - I do all the good I can - yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!

No one can have a higher opinion of him than I have; and I think he's a dirty little beast.

My object all sublime I shall achieve in time- To let the punishment fit the crime- The punishment fit the crime.

The idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own.

Posterity shall know of me even less than I shall know of posterity.

In short, whoever you may be, To this conclusion you'll agree, When every one is somebodee, Then no one's anybody!
