Famous quotes containing the words rod and/or making:

    “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)

    “They will take a state and human nature for their tablet, and begin by making a clean surface.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
