“Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines.

—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I kept him for his humour’s sake,
For he would oft beguile
My heart of thoughts that made it ache,
And force me to a smile.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
