Cook

Famous quotes containing the word cook:

    A monarchy is like a man-of-war—bad shots between wind and water hurt it exceedingly; there is a danger of capsizing. But democracy is a raft. You cannot easily overturn it. It is a wet place, but it is a pretty safe one.
    —Flavius Josephus Cook (1838–1901)

    ‘Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold,
    And the mate of the Nancybrig,
    And a bos’sun tight, and a midshipmite,
    And the crew of the captain’s gig!”’
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    A cook they hadde with hem for the nones
    To boille the chiknes with the marybones.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
