Prince Philip
It's no use saying do this, do that, don't do that ... it's very easy when children want something to say no immediately. I think it's quite important not to give an unequivocal answer at once. Much better to think it over. Then, if you eventually say no, I think they really accept it.
Prince Philip
I suppose I'd get in trouble if I were to melt them down.
Prince Philip
Were you here in the bad old days? ... That's why you can't read and write then!
