Proverbs, aphorisms, quotations (English) by Linux fortune

Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues
of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping houses, and the blessed sun himself
a fair, hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst
be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.  I wasted time and now doth
time waste me.
                -- William Shakespeare
Birds are entangled by their feet and men by their tongues.
People with narrow minds usually have broad tongues.
