Quotation with: "chain"
"The public is a ferocious beast: one must either chain it up or flee from it."
Author: Voltaire
About: Public Speaking
"Here's Agamemnon, an honest fellow enough, and one that loves
quails, but he has not so much brain as ear-wax; and the goodly
transformation of Jupiter there, his brother, the bull, the
primitive statue and oblique memorial of cockolds; a thrifty
shoeing-horn in a chain, hanging at his brother's leg, to what
form but that he is should wit larded with malice and malice
forced with wit turn him to? To an ass, were nothing; he is both
ass and ox: to an ox, were nothing; he is both ox and ass. To
be a dog, a mule, a cat, a fitchew, a toad, a lizard, an owl, a
puttock, or a herring without roe, I would not care; but to be
Memelaus! I would conspire against destiny."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Quail

without destroying the harmony of the whole."
Author: Friedrich Karl Ludwig Schoedler

"In sculpture did ever anybody call the Apollo a fancy piece? Or
say of the Laocoon how it might be made difference? A

being, as much as a plant or a crystal."
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson

"What gem hath dropp'd, and sparkles o'er his chain?
The tear most sacred, shed for other's pain,
That starts at once–bright pure–from Pity's mine,
Already polish'd by the hand divine!"
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Tears
"I should think your tongue has broken its chain."
Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
About: Tongue
"He calls his wish, it comes; he sends it back,
And says he called another; that arrives,
Meets the same welcome; yet he still calls on;
Till one calls him, who varies not his call,
But holds him fast, in chains of darkness bound,
Till Nature dies, and judgment sets him free;
A freedom far less welcome than this chain."
Author: Edward Young
