Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Mark 11:23.

    Matthew 21:21 also refers to this speech.

    You may, or may not, have better child care instincts than your husband; but his can certainly be developed. If you don’t respect the natural parenting talents that each of you has, you may inadvertently cast the two of you into the skewed but complementary roles of the Expert and the Dumb Apprentice.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)
