Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or gait:
“That most ingenious paradox!
We’ve quips and quibbles heard in flocks,
But none to beat that paradox!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“I had rather hear a brazen canstick turned,
Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree,
And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
Nothing so much as mincing poetry.
‘Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
