Report me and my cause aright
To the unsatisfied. [ William Shakespeare ]

He's gone, and who knows how he may report
Thy words by adding fuel to the flame? [ Milton ]

Read not my blemishes in the world's report. [ William Shakespeare ]

It is greatly wise to talk with our past hours,
And ask them what report they bore to heaven. [ Young ]

Enemies carry a report in a quite different form from the original. [ Plautus ]

It is not virtuous women who are so ready to report suspicion of their sisters. [ Mme. de Krudener ]

Trust as little as you can to report, and examine all you can by your own senses. [ Johnson ]

My soul is sick with every day's report of wrong and outrage with which earth is filled. [ Cowper ]

There is no love-broker in the world can more prevail in man's commendation with woman than report of valor. [ William Shakespeare ]

There is also an evil report; light, indeed, and easy to raise, but difficult to carry, and still more difficult to get rid of. [ Hesiodus ]

It would take long to enumerate how great an amount of crime was everywhere perpetrated; even the report itself came short of the truth. [ Ovid ]

There is no detraction worse than to overpraise a man, for if his worth proves short of what report doth speak of him, his own actions are ever giving the lie to his honor. [ Feltham ]

The mind of the greatest man on earth is not so independent of circumstances as not to feel inconvenienced by the merest buzzing noise about him; it does not need the report of a cannon to disturb his thoughts. The creaking of a vane or a pully is quite enough. Do not wonder that he reasons ill just now; a fly is buzzing by his ear; it is quite enough to unfit him for giving good counsel. [ Pascal ]

Those that are the loudest in their threats are the weakest in the execution of them. In springing a mine, that which has done the most extensive mischief makes the smallest report; and again, if we consider the effect of lightning, it is probable that he that is killed by it hears no noise; but the thunderclap which follows, and which I most alarms the ignorant, is the surest proof of their safety. [ Colton ]
