No person's wallet is safe when the politicians are in session.

When Marcus Porcius was consul, a musician came from Greece to Rome, who added a string to the instrument with which he played, and for this the instrument was burned and the teacher was banished.

While Guy Fawkes was climbing to the hanging platform as part of his "hung, drawn and quartered" torture/execution, he jumped off the ladder and broke his neck dying instantly.

The actual quote from 'Merchant of Venice is 'All that GLISTERS is not gold'
and not,as usually quoted 'All the Glitters...' I once won a small bet with that, against some self-proclaimed Shakespeare 'expert'! |

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost; |

'To gild the lily' is a condensed version of the quotation 'To gild refined gold, to paint the lily'.

To throw a perfume on the violet
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. |

There's magic in the sleepiness
Of waking to a childish sounding yawn Come watch the no colors fade blazing Into petal sprays of violets of dawn |
