Cunning Folk

Famous quotes containing the words cunning and/or folk:

“But chief to heedless flies the window proves
A constant death; where gloomily retired,
The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
O’erlooking all his waving snares around.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“The ties between gentle folk are as pure as water; the links between scoundrels are as thick as honey.”
