Things are seldom what they seem.
The Law is the true embodiment of everything that's excellent; it has no kind of fault or flaw and I, my Lords, embody the Law.
poverty is obsolete and hunger is abolished
A policeman's lot is not a happy one
I am the very model of a modern major general
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."
