Famous quotes containing the words night and/or listener:
“Dear, why should you command me to my rest,
When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
Methinks this time becometh lovers best;
Night was ordained together friends to keep.
How happy are all other living things,
Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
The quiet evening yet together brings,
And each returns unto his love at night.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.”
