1 quote

It is an ugly world. Offend
Good people, how they wrangle,
The manners that they never mend,
The characters they mangle.
They eat, and drink, and scheme, and plod,
And go to church on Sunday—
And many are afraid of God—
And more of Mrs. Grundy.

The Jester's Plea; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)
