Famous quotes containing the words john and/or drake:

    “Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
    Some kind unbodied post
    Sent from the shades below!
    I strangely long to know
    Whether the nobler chaplets wear
    Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
    Or those that were used kindly.”
    —Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    “Believe me, if a man doesn’t know death, he doesn’t know life.”
    —William A. Drake (1900–1965)
