Tooth

Famous quotes containing the word tooth:

    If she must teem,
    Create her child of spleen, that it may live
    And be a thwart disnatured torment to her!
    Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth,
    With cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks,
    Turn all her mother’s pains and benefits
    To laughter and contempt, that she may feel
    How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is
    To have a thankless child!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well...
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 5:38-40.

    Jesus.

    Blow, blow, thou winter wind!
    Thou art not so unkind
    As man’s ingratitude;
    Thy tooth is not so keen
    Because thou art not seen,
    Although thy breath be rude.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
