Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or murray:

    He showed me his bill of fare to tempt me to dine with him; said I, I value not your bill of fare, give me your bill of company.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!
    —Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)
