Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “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)

    “Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    “Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.”
    —Bible: Hebrew (KJ)
