Famous quotes containing the word pipe:
“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Pretty friendship tis to rhyme
Your friends to death before their time
Moping melancholy mad:
Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Blest are those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
That they are not a pipe for Fortunes finger
To sound what stop she please.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
