Bare Knuckle

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or knuckle:

“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“What’s in the cupboard?
Says Mr. Hubbard.
A knuckle of veal,
Says Mr. Beal.”
—Unknown. What’s in the Cupboard? (L. 1–4)
