Bait Ball

Famous quotes containing the words bait and/or ball:

    O cunning enemy, that to catch a saint,
    With saints doth bait thy hook! Most dangerous
    Is that temptation that doth goad us on
    To sin in loving virtue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife. Simply tell me how he makes his living. It is the safest and surest of all known tests. A man who gets his board and lodging on this ball in an ignominious way is inevitably an ignominious man.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
