Tooth

Famous quotes containing the word tooth:

    Had I but awakened from sleep
    And called her name, she had heard
    It may be, and had not stirred,
    That now, it may be, has found
    The horn’s sweet note and the tooth of the hound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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.

    And now my work is done, which neither the anger of
    Jove, nor fire, nor sword, nor the gnawing tooth of time
    shall ever be able to undo.... Wherever Rome’s power
    extends over the conquered world, I shall have mention
    on men’s lips.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
