Mr. Speaker, as I was saying on November 27, 1979, before I was so rudely interrupted...
--
spoken in jest in the House of Commons, March 5, 1984, regarding Pierre Trudeau's resignation as Liberal leader. Clark had delivered a similar salute in 1979, only to have Trudeau remain and defeat him in the 1980 Federal Election. ()Joe Clark
As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted 14 years ago... (on being elected as the first Mayor of London, following the abolition of the GLC, of which he was leader)

The increase of blessing is not interrupted by God, unless thanksgiving is interrupted by the slaves.

The speaker must choose a comprehensible [verstandlich] expression so that speaker and hearer can understand one another.
Jurgen Habermas‎
"When I called the Right Hon. Member for Plymouth, Devonport (Dr. Owen) a pompous sod, Mr. Speaker said to me, 'You had better withdraw that'. I said I would withdraw 'pompous', but said, Mr. Speaker 'That's not the word I'm looking for.' There was laughter in the House and everyone thought that I had hit the nail on the head. I thought that that was a real parliamentary triumph, but Mr. Speaker thought differently. He said, 'Off you go,' and I did not get a chance to reply."
