Famous quotes containing the word bitter:

    “Yet what I sowed and what the orchard yields
    My brother’s sons are gathering stalk and root,
    Small wonder then my children glean in fields
    They have not sown, and feed on bitter fruit.”
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
    Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
    Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.”

    That has caused me to smart,
    The withy shall be the very first tree
    Fort to perish all at the heart.’”
