There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is. ~William Shakespeare

The more pity, that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly.

The trust I have is in mine innocence, and therefore am I bold and resolute.

Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back.

We are oft to blame in this, - 'tis too much proved, - that with devotion's visage, and pios action we do sugar o'er the devil himself.

Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.

You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised.
