Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

    Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you,
    trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it as many of your
    players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    to his eyes, Funnyface Or Elephant as yet
    Mean nothing. His distinction between Me and Us
    Is a matter of taste; his seasons are Dry and Wet;
    He thinks as his mouth does.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    When the reptile is attacked at one mouth of his burrow, he shows himself at another.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
