Lord Angelo is precise; Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses That his blood flows, or that his appetite Is more to bread than stone. - William Shakespeare There are a sort of men, whose visages Do cream and mantle, like a standing pond; And do a willful stillness entertain, With purpose to be dressed in an opinion Of wisdom, gravity profound conceit; As who should say, I am sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark! - William Shakespeare Oh, I see thee old and formal, fitted to thy petty part, With a little board of maxims preaching down a daughter's heart! - Lord Alfred Tennyson
