          From something I read years ago and so not an exact quote.

          Roosevelt to Churchill: Good morning Winston how’s the second biggest Navy in the world?

          Churchill to Roosevelt: Good morning Mr President. How’s the second best?

            “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”

            Julian of Norwich

              “…no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory party that inflicted those bitter experiences on me. So far as I am concerned, they are lower than vermin.”

                        He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
                        Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
                        You better stay away from him
                        He'll rip your lungs out, Jim

                          Freud ..... Ah! A grove of phallic symbols

                          Jung ..... They might look like phallic symbols to you.You know what they look like to me.
