Sting/people

Famous quotes containing the words sting and/or people:

    Thou thyself hast been a libertine,
    As sensual as the brutish sting itself.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
