Famous quotes containing the word spoke:

    Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you—trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say, the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Then the well spoke to me.
    It said: Abundance is scooped from abundance,
    yet abundance remains.
    Then I knew.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them.
    He has raised up a mighty savior for us
    in the house of his servant David,
    as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old...
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:68-70.
