Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

    “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
    So I make an idle boast;
    Jesus of the twice-turned cheek
    Lamb of God, although I speak
    With my mouth thus, in my heart
    Do I play a double part.”
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    “But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 15:18,19.

    “Pull down the blinds, bring fiddle and clarionet
    That there be no foot silent in the room
    Nor mouth from kissing, nor from wine unwet;
    Our Father Rosicross is in his tomb.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
