Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)

    “We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
