No heralds in the grave. [ Proverb ]

At a round table the heralds useless. [ Proverb ]

Not all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay,
Nor florid prose, nor honeyed lines of rhyme,
Can blazon evil deeds or consecrate a crime. [ Byron ]

They are those winged messengers that can fly
From the Antarctic to the Arctic sky;
The heralds and swift harbingers that move
From east to west on embassies of love. [ Howell ]

Love's heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams
Driving back shadows over lowering hills. [ William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet ]

Love's heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams. [ William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Sc. 5 ]
