Common Language

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or language:

“It is a common saying, and in everybody’s mouth, that life is but a sojourn.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“I now thinke, Love is rather deafe, than blind,
For else it could not be,
That she,
Whom I adore so much, should so slight me,
And cast my love behind:
I’m sure my language to her, was as sweet,
And every close did meet
In sentence, of as subtile feet,
As hath the youngest Hee,”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
