Famous quotes containing the words tone and/or letter:

    When you listen to gongs and drums, listen to the music; when you listen to someone talk, listen to his tone of voice.
    Chinese proverb.

    I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem; my
    verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have
    shunned wit steeped in venom—not a letter of mine is dipped
    in poisonous jest.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
