Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
    within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
    health of my countenance, and my God.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm XLII (l. XLII, 11)

    “The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Who first seduc’d them to that fowl revolt?
    Th’ infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
    Stird up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv’d
    The Mother of Mankinde, what time his Pride
    Had cast him out from Heav’n, with all his Host
    Of Rebel Angels,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
