Famous quotes containing the word wipe:

    “The best way to hate is the worst.
    ‘Tis to find what the hated need,
    Never mind of what actual worth,
    And wipe that out of the earth.
    Let them die of unsatisfied greed....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Those who in quarrels interpose,
    Must often wipe a bloody nose.
    John Gay (1685–1732)

    O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
    How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
    To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
    And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
    Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
    Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
