Famous quotes containing the words hand that feeds, hand and/or feeds:
“We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, for that is a way of receiving it from ourselves; but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Wear this for me: one out of suits with Fortune,
That could give more, but that her hand lacks means.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The poet is he that hath fat enough, like bears and marmots, to suck his claws all winter. He hibernates in this world, and feeds on his own marrow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
