Famous quotes containing the words mouth and/or mirrors:
“I think it better that in times like these

We have no gift to set a statesman right.”

“Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper; a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table; and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
