Cripple

Famous quotes containing the word cripple:

“The cripple tardy-gaited night,
Who like a foul and ugly witch doth limp
So tediously away.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A cripple or blind they will ca’ me,
While we shall be merry and sing.’”
—Unknown. The Gaberlunzie Man (l. 79–80)

“He serveth the servant,
The brave he loves amain;
He kills the cripple and the sick,
And straight begins again.
For gods delight in gods,
And thrust the weak aside;
To him who scorns their charities,
Their arms fly open wide.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
