  5. Groan! But what a lovely thing to groan about.

    From Sidney Smith, probably the wittiest Anglican priest between John Donne and MadPriest:
    Walking with a friend one day, Smith saw two women arguing; they were leaning out of windows across the street from each other.
    Smith turned to his friend, and said, "They will never agree. They are arguing from different premises."

    (I'll leave it to others to apply it to certain current events.)
