Famous quotes containing the words pipe, build and/or cake:
“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.

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I will build him a sure house...”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:35.

“The first year was like icing.
