"It is not necessary in New England (where everybody reads the Bible and is acquainted with Scripture phrases) that I should note the Bible references from which I take them, but I have observed in England as well as in France that verses and expressions taken from the Sacred Writings (and not known to be such) appear very strange and awkward to some readers.“
—Benjamin Franklin
