Eye Ointment

Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or ointment:

    Alas, alas for Hamelin!
    There came into many a burgher’s pate
    A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
    Opes to the rich at as easy rate
    As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a foul odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
