OPINIONS to OVER SHOE TOPS

OPINIONS.—We will proceed no further in this business:—
He hath honour’d me of late; and I have bought
Golden opinions from all sorts of people,
Which would be worn now in their newest gloss,
Not cast aside so soon.

Shakespeare.—Macbeth, Act I. Scene 7.

OPPOSED.—Equally to God and truth opposed;
Opposed as darkness to the light of heaven.

Pollok.—The Course of Time, Book III.

OPPOSITION.—Why should we, in our peevish opposition,
Take it to heart?

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 2.

ORACLE.—I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!

Shakespeare.—Merchant of Venice, Act I. Scene 1.

ORATOR.—I am no orator, as Brutus is;
But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man,
That loves my friend.

Shakespeare.—Julius Cæsar, Act III. Scene 2. (Anthony to the Citizens.)

ORDER.—Order is heaven’s first law; and this confest,
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
That such are happier, shocks all common sense.

Pope.—On Man, Epi. IV. Line 49.

Take but degree away, untune that string,
And, hark, what discord follows!

Shakespeare.—Troilus and Cressida, Act I. Scene 3.

The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre,
Observe degree, priority, and place,
Insisture, course, proportion, season, form,
Office, and custom, in all line of order.

Shakespeare.—Troilus and Cressida, Act I. Scene 3.

ORISONS.—In thy orisons be all my sins remember’d.

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act III. Scene 1.

ORTHODOX.—And prove their doctrine orthodox
By apostolic blows and knocks.

Butler.—Hudibras, Part I. Canto I. Line 199.

ORTHOGRAPHY.—But above all, Sir Anthony, she should be mistress of orthodoxy, that she might not mis-spell, and mis-pronounce words so shamefully, as girls usually do; and likewise that she might reprehend the true meaning of what she is saying. This, Sir Anthony, is what I would have a woman know;—and I don’t think there is a superstitious article in it.

Sheridan.—The Rivals, Act I. Scene 2.

Away with punctilios and orthography, I serve the good duke of Norfolk.

Anonymous.—The Merry Devil of Edmondton.

OUT.—Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

St. Matthew.—Chap. XII. Verse 34; St. Luke, Chap. VI. Verse 45.
