Rub

Famous quotes containing the word rub:

“O Bee,
yoked with greed
for a drink of sap,
the jasmine bud
hasn’t even opened
its petals
in the least,
and yet
you rub against it.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Where you are liberal of your loves and counsels,
Be sure you be not loose; for those you make friends
And give your hearts to, when they once perceive
The least rub in your fortunes, fall away
Like water from ye, never found again
But where they mean to sink ye.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I was afraid the waking arm would break
From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
In the exultant labor of his rise;”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
