Pipe Spring National

Famous quotes containing the words pipe, spring and/or national:

    If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Through winter-time we call on spring,
    And through the spring on summer call,
    And when abounding hedges ring
    Declare that winter’s best of all;
    And after that there’s nothing good
    Because the spring-time has not come....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I would dodge, not lie, in the national interest.
    Larry Speakes (b. 1939)
