"It is good news, worthy of all acceptation, and yet not too good to be true."

"What, what, what, What's the news from Swat? Sad news, Bad news, Comes by the cable; led Through the Indian Ocean's bed, Through the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Med- Iterranean—he's dead; The Akhoond is dead."

"Who, or why, or which, or what, Is the Akhond of Swat?"

"Ill news, madam, Are swallow-winged, but what's good Walks on crutches."

"News, news, news, my gossiping friends, I have wonderful news to tell, A lady by me her compliments sends; And this is the news from Hell!"

"As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country."

"Ce n'est pas un événement, c'est une nouvelle."
