Because all sounds do highly move aloft;
And that they may not pierce too violently,
They are delay'd with turns and twinings oft.

It would astonish and confuse it much;
Therefore these plaits and folds the sound restrain,
That it the organ may more gently touch. [ Sir John Davies ]

The limbs will quiver and move after the soul is gone. [ Samuel Johnson ]

Like heavens great movers that enrich the earth;
Whose moment's sloth would show the world undone;

Those who worship gold in a world so corrupt as this we live in have at least one thing to plead in defense of their idolatry - the power of their idol.

This idol can boast of two peculiarities; it is worshipped in all climates, without a single temple, and by all classes, without a single hypocrite. [ Colton ]
