Shakespeare wrote most of the good ones

    "We won't weaken."
   "Not an iota. If they come bothering you, refer them to your agent. Tell them I've got the thing."
   "But then they'll bother you."
   "My dear child, mine has been a long life, in the course of which I have frequently been bothered by experts. And always without effect. Bothering passes me by as the idle wind, which I respect not."
   "That's Shakespeare, isn't it?"
   "I shouldn't wonder. Most of the good gags are."

(from Full Moon, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
