The Auditors fluttered anxiously. And, as always happens in their species when something goes radically wrong and needs fixing instantly, they settled down to try to work how who was to blame. -- Terry Pratchett
Wherefore in all great works are Clerks so much desired? Wherefore are Auditors so well-fed? What causeth Geometricians so highly to be enhaunsed? Why are Astronomers so greatly advanced? Because that by number such things they find, which else would farre excell mans minde. -- Robert Recorde
Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. The other third is covered with auditors from headquarters. -- Norman Ralph Augustine

Governments lie; bankers lie; even auditors sometimes lie: gold tells the truth. -- William Rees-Mogg
When orators and auditors have the same prejudices, those prejudices run a great risk of being made to stand for incontestable truths. -- Philibert Joseph Roux
Men of great conversational powers almost universally practise a sort of lively sophistry and exaggeration which deceives for the moment both themselves and their auditors. -- Thomas B. Macaulay

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why. -- Percy Bysshe Shelley
