Famous quotes containing the word wash:

    Droplets of rain can soak through your clothes; goblets of wine can wash away your wealth.
    Chinese proverb.

    The god of this great vast, rebuke these surges,
    Which wash both heaven and hell; and thou that hast
    Upon the winds command, bind them in brass,
    Having called them from the deep! O, still
    Thy deaf’ning dreadful thunders, gently quench
    Thy nimble sulphurous flashes!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    [When asked: “If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?”:] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
