Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    Cassius is aweary of the world:
    Hated by one he loves; braved by his brother;
    Checked like a bondman; all his faults observed,
    Set in a notebook, learned and conned by rote
    To cast into my teeth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Has he all that the world loves and admires and covets?—he must cast behind him their admiration, and afflict them by faithfulness to his truth, and become a byword and a hissing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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.
