Famous quotes containing the word news:

    “Word of gloom from the war, one day;
    Johnston pressed at the front, they say.
    Little Giffen was up and away;
    A tear—his first—as he bade good-by,
    Dimmed the glint of his steel-blue eye.
    “I’ll write, if spared!” There was news of the fight;
    But none of Giffen.—He did not write.”
    —Francis Orrery Ticknor (1822–1874)

    “It is not the purpose of literature to purvey news. For news consult the Almanac de Gotha.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.”
    —Chinese proverb.
