Longer Sing

Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or sing:

    Men are much more unwilling to have their weaknesses and their imperfections known, than their crimes; and, if you hint to a man that you think him silly, ignorant or even ill-bred or awkward, he will hate you more and longer than it you tell him plainly that you think him a rogue.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Swans sing before they die—’twere no bad thing
    Should certain persons die before they sing.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
