Cleaning Rod

Famous quotes containing the words cleaning and/or rod:

“The disgust with dirt can be so great that it keeps us from cleaning ourselves—from “justifying” ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
