Beat

Famous quotes containing the word beat:

“The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor?”
—Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 3:15.

“Any stigma, as the old saying is, will serve to beat a dogma.”
—Philip Guedalla (1889–1944)
