Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or sung:
“Patron: One who countenances, supports or protects. Commonly a wretch who supports with insolence, and is paid with flattery.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The echo is, to some extent, an original sound, and therein is the magic and charm of it. It is not merely a repetition of what was worth repeating in the bell, but partly the voice of the wood; the same trivial words and notes sung by a wood-nymph.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
