Tar Baby

Famous quotes containing the words tar and/or baby:

    The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I,
    The gunner and his mate,
    Loved Mall, Meg, and Marian and Margery,
    But none of us cared for Kate;
    For she had a tongue with a tang,
    Would cry to a sailor, ‘Go hang!’
    She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
    Yet a tailor might scratch her where’er she did itch:
    Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A baby is God’s way of saying the world should go on.
    —Doris Smith. quoted in What Is a Baby?, By Richard and Helen Exley.
