Letter Sheets

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or sheets:

    ‘Tis the curse of service,
    Preferment goes by letter and affection,
    And not by old gradation, where each second
    Stood heir to th’ first.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The difference is wide that the sheets will not decide.
    English proverb, collected in John Ray, English Proverbs (1670)
