Read Word

Famous quotes containing the words read and/or word:

    “Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
    But speak a language of their own;

    Convey a libel in a frown,
    And wink a reputation down.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “At ev’ry word a reputation dies.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
