Famous quotes containing the word staff:

    “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)

    “When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
    —Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919–1987)

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