Together with the Authorized version and the works of Shakespeare, the Book of Common Prayer has been one of the three fundamental underpinnings of modern English. As it has been in regular use for centuries, many phrases from its services have passed into the English language, either as deliberate quotations or as unconscious borrowings. They are used in non-liturgical ways. For example, many authors have used quotes from the prayer book as titles for their books.

Some examples of well-known phrases from the Book of Common Prayer are:

* "Speak now or forever hold your peace" from the marriage liturgy.
* "Till death us do part", from the marriage liturgy.
* "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust" from the funeral service.
* "From all the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil" from the litany.
* "Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" from the collect for the second Sunday of Advent.
* "Evil liver" from the rubrics for Holy Communion.
* "All sorts and conditions of men" from the Order for Morning Prayer.
