Tar Wolf

Famous quotes containing the words tar and/or wolf:

    The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What does it mean when we are told
    That the Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold?
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
