Famous quotes containing the word william:

    “They soon became like brothers from community of wrongs;
    They wrote each other little odes and sang each other songs;
    They told each other anecdotes disparaging their wives;
    On several occasions, too, they saved each other’s lives.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
