Famous quotes containing the word rub:

    “O Bee,
    yoked with greed
    for a drink of sap,
    the jasmine bud
    hasn’t even opened
    its petals
    in the least,
    and yet
    you rub against it.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “My boy ... always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.”
    —Damon Runyon (1884–1946)

    “Where you are liberal of your loves and counsels,
    Be sure you be not loose; for those you make friends
    And give your hearts to, when they once perceive
    The least rub in your fortunes, fall away
    Like water from ye, never found again
    But where they mean to sink ye.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
