Spit

Famous quotes containing the word spit:

    You don’t hit a child when you want him to stop hitting. You don’t yell at a children to get them to stop yelling. Or spit at a child to indicate that he should not spit. Of course, you want children to know how to sympathize with others and to “know how it feels,” but you ... have to show them how to act—not how not to act.
    Jeannette W. Galambos (20th century)

    Oh, put away your good words
    and your bad words. Spit out
    your words like stones!
    Come here! Come here!
    Come eat my pleasant fruits.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There was an old man from Darjeeling
    Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
    It said at the door,
    “Please don’t spit on the floor,”
    So he carefully spat on the ceiling.
