Famous quotes containing the words members, john, beecher and/or orchestra:

    The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.
    St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)

    Wonderful invention, the phonograph. Keeps a man alive long after he’s dead.
    P. J. Wolfson, and John L. Balderston (1899–1954)

    When a nation’s young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.
    —Henry Ward Beecher (1813–1887)

    “Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.”
