Famous quotes containing the words false and/or bay:

    “There is none who does not lie hourly in the respect he pays to false appearance.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Shall we now
    Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
    And sell the mighty space of our large honors
    For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
    I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
    Than such a Roman.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
