Famous quotes containing the words joint and/or staff:
“I learned from the git-go in the joint to get in touch with the soft, nurturing side of myself, the feminine side.”

“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
