Famous quotes containing the words lincoln, mystery and/or plays:

    “Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Macavity’s a Mystery Cat; he’s called the Hidden Paw—
    For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “He plays o’the viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
