Single Vowel

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or vowel:

“The only sure way of avoiding these evils [vanity and boasting] is never to speak of yourself at all. But when, historically, you are obliged to mention yourself, take care not to drop one single word that can directly or indirectly be construed as fishing for applause.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.”
