The English have only one sauce, melted butter.

Remark to Adam Smith, as attributed in P. J. O'Rourke, On The Wealth of Nations (2007), p. 184Voltaire
‘Alf Todd,’ said Ukridge, soaring to an impressive burst of imagery, ‘has about as much chance as a one-armed blind man in a dark room trying to shove a pound of melted butter into a wild-cat’s ear with a red-hot needle.’
P. G. Wodehouse
Laissez Faire was very good sauce for the goose, labor, but was very poor sauce for the gander, capital.
Benjamin Tucker
Yes yes (quoth she) for all those wyse woordis vttred,
I know on which syde my bread is buttred.
But there will no butter cleaue on my breade.
And on my bread any butter to be spreade.
Euery promise that thou therin dost vtter,
Is as sure as it were sealed with butter.John Heywood
What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose.
Karl Marx
Sauce for a Goose, is Sauce for a Gander.
