Ill Read That Again

Famous quotes containing the words ill and/or read:

“Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior’s breast.”

“Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
But speak a language of their own;
Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
Far better than a printed book;
Convey a libel in a frown,
And wink a reputation down.”
