Famous quotes containing the words wolf and/or prize:

    “Wulf, my Wulf! Waiting for you
    has made me ill, your seldom coming,
    this sorrowing mood—not lack of meat.
    Do you hear, Eadwacer? Our poor whelp
    a wolf bears off to the wood.”
    —Unknown. Eadwacer (l. 13–17)

    “In the corrupted currents of this world
    Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
    And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
    Buys out the law; but ‘tis not so above:
    There is no shuffling.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
