Quotations for note

The bell strikes one.
We take no note of time,
But from its loss,
To give it then a tongue,
Is wise in man. [ Young ]

Let echo, too, perform her part,
Prolonging every note with art;
And in a low expiring strain,
Play all the comfort over again. [ Addison ]

It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard;
It is the hour when lovers' vows
Seem sweet in every whispered word. [ Byron ]

Every word he speaks is a syren's note
To draw the careless hearer. [ Beaumont ]

The spirit of a youth
That means to be of note, begins betimes. [ Shakespeare ]

We take no note of time but from its loss. [ Young ]

Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried:
Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot,
O'er the grave where our hero we buried. [ Rev. C. Wolfe ]

The crackling embers on the hearth are dead;
The indoor note of industry is still;
The latch is fast; upon the window-sill
The small birds wait not for their daily bread;
The voiceless flowers - how quietly they shed
Their nightly odours; - and the household rill
Murmurs continuous dulcet sounds that fill
The vacant expectation, and the dread
Of listening night. [ Hartley Coleridge ]

Moderation is the key-note of lasting enjoyment. [ Hosea Ballou ]

Love, hope, fear, faith — these make humanity;
These are its sign and note and character. [ Robert Browning ]

They are like bells; every one in a several note. [ Proverb ]

A bird is known by its note, and a man by his talk. [ Proverb ]

Justice is the key-note of the world, and all else is ever out of tune. [ Theodore Parker ]

A husband is a sort of promissory note - a woman is tired of meeting him. [ Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance ]

A good deal of water passes by the mill which the miller takes no note of. [ Italian Proverb ]

Take note of what you see, give heed to what you hear, and be silent. Judge little, inquire much. [ Platen ]

There is music in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument. [ Sir Thomas Browne ]

Music is the harmonious voice of creation, an echo of the invisible world, one note of the divine concord which the entire universe is destined one day to sound. [ Mazzini ]

A blushing young damsel of 109 has just died at Mallow, Ireland. She had been an ardent smoker of twist tobacco for 81 years, and finally died in the bloom of her youth. To make matters worse, she was an orphan. Those who do not wish to die young should make a note of this. [ Tobacco Jokes For Smoking Folks, 1888 ]

Might I give counsel to any young hearer, I would say to him, try to frequent the company of your betters. In books and life is the most wholesome society; learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that. Note what the great men admire, - they admired great things; narrow spirits admire basely, and worship meanly. [ Thackeray ]

As the index tells us the contents of stories and directs to the particular chapter, even so does the outward habit and superficial order of garments (in man or woman) give us a taste of the spirit, and demonstratively point (as it were a manual note from the margin) all the internal quality of the soul; and there cannot be a more evident, palpable, gross manifestation of poor, degenerate, dunghilly blood and breeding than a rude, unpolished, disordered, and slovenly outside. [ Massinger ]
