We're looking at a gezegde

We're looking at a very privileged class of people ? a House of Lords.

I wanted to look at the upper-middle-class scene since the war, and in particular my generation's part in it. We had spent our early years as privileged members of a privileged class. How were we faring in the Age of the Common Man? How ought we to be faring?

Simon Raven

A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

Bible

The cure for admiring the House of Lords is to go and look at it.

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)

It's an excellent life. I'm rich. I'm happy. I have a great job. I travel hither and yon to fabulous places. I'm surrounded by wonderful, interesting people. I live a privileged life -- hugely privileged.... It would be absurd to pretend that it's anything different.

Julia Roberts (1967-)

The House of Lords is like a glass of champagne that has stood for five days.

Clement Attlee (1803-1857)

Graced as thou art with all the power of words, So known, so honored at the House of Lords

The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.

Tony Benn (1925-)

The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.

Tony Benn (1925-)

The House of Lords, an illusion to which I have never been able to subscribe - responsibility without power, the prerogative of the eunuch throughout the ages.

Tom Stoppard (1937-)

I?m not even sure I?d go into a reformed House of Lords. But let?s put it like this, the decision would have been easier had there been not even complete reform but a substantial stride.

Neil Kinnock (1942-)

The quality of debate [in the House of Lords] is pretty high - and it is, I think, good evidence of life after death

Donald Soper (1903-1998)

I'm rather hoping this is a unique case, because as far as I know it is the first time the Government has challenged the composition of the House of Lords and I rather hope they will never do it again.

Lord Hailsham (1872-1950)

Where might is, the right is:/ Long purses make strong swords./ Let weakness learn meekness:/ God save the House of Lords!

Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909)
