Famous quotes related to listen to:

    “When the enterprising burglar isn’t burgling,
    When the cut-throat isn’t occupied in crime,
    He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling,
    And listen to the merry village chime.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “Once children grow up, they don’t listen to their mothers.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Listen to me. You come into this town, and you think you’re headed somewhere, don’t you? You think you’re gonna get there with a gun, but you’re not. Get me. You know why, ‘cause you got thousand dollar bills pasted right across your eyes. And someday you’re gonna stumble and fall down in the gutter, right where the horses have been standin’, right where you belong.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “Conductor: What do you know about music?
    Eddie: Nothing I only wrote it, that’s all.
    Conductor: Then you have the best of me. You don’t have to listen to it.”
    —James Gleason (1886–1959)
