Sting

Famous quotes containing the word sting:

    Jim said bees wouldn’t sting idiots; but I didn’t believe that, because I had tried them lots of times myself, and they wouldn’t sting me.

    A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I perceive I have not really understood any thing, not a single
    object, and that no man ever can,
    Nature here in sight of the sea taking advantage of me to dart upon me and sting me,
    Because I have dared to open my mouth to sing at all.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
