More quotes by Stephen Potter
Cogg would suddenly stand stock still. Listen, he would say. Some feeble quack would be heard from the willow beyond the pond. That's an easy one to tell. The frog-pippit. Then he would add, As a safety measure, As I believe they call it in these parts.

Each of us can, by ploy or gambit, most naturally gain the advantage.
Stephen Potter
Make friends with your caddie and the game will make friends with you.
Stephen Potter
Talk of the imperial decay of your invalid port. Its gracious withdrawal from perfection, keeping a hint of former majesty withal, as it hovers between oblivion and the divine Untergang of infinite recession.
