And turn delight into a sacrifice. [ George Herbert ]

Their brazen lips are learned teachers.
From their pulpits of stone, in the upper air,
Sounding aloft, without crack or flaw.
Shriller than trumpets under the Law,
Now a sermon and now a prayer. [ Longfellow ]

It is a silly goose that comes to a fox's sermon. [ Proverb ]
