Famous quotes containing the word staff:

    “I shall not want false witness to condemn me,
    Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt.
    The ancient proverb will be well effected:
    “A staff is quickly found to beat a dog.””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
    Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
    He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
    The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
    Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
    His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes; but Aaron’s staff swallowed up theirs.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 7:12.
