Famous quotes containing the word sack:
“You can’t divide a business like a sack of apples.”

“Lincoln, six feet one in his stocking feet,
The lank man, knotty and tough as a hickory rail,
Whose hands were always too big for white-kid gloves,
Whose wit was a coonskin sack of dry, tall tales,
Whose weathered face was homely as a plowed field.”
—Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943)
“There is nothing but roguery to be found in villainous man,
yet a coward is worse than a cup of sack with lime in it.”
