THEODORE HOOK
English novelist, dramatist and wit
(1788 - 1841)

It is generally admitted, and very frequently proved, that virtue and genius, and all the natural good qualities which men possess, are derived from their mothers.
      - [Mothers]

A tunnel underneath the sea from Calais straight to Dover, Sir,
  The squeamish folks may cross by land from shore to shore,
    With sluices made to drown the French, if e'er they would come over, Sir,
      Has long been talk'd of, till at length 'tis thought a monstrous bore.
      - Bubbles of 1825, in "John Bull"
        [Prophecy (Prophesy)]
