Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If one does not cast a big net, one cannot catch big fish.”
—Chinese proverb.
