Pipe

Famous quotes containing the word pipe:

“Blest are those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
That they are not a pipe for Fortune’s finger
To sound what stop she please.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“When you can pipe that merry old strain,
Robert of Lincoln, come back again.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
