Quotations for thin

A thin meadow is soon mowed. [ Proverb ]

Fame is a thin shadow of eternity. [ Proverb ]

Faults are thick when love is thin. [ Proverb ]

A thin bush is better than no shelter. [ Proverb ]

Through perils both of wind and limb.
Through thick and thin she follow'd him. [ Butler ]

And thin partitions do their bounds divide. [ John Dryden ]

Of all the phantoms fleeting in the mist
Of time, though meagre all and ghostly thin;
Most unsubstantial, unessential shade
Was earthly fame. [ Pollok ]

For thee, O now a silent soul, my brother,
Take at my hands this garland and farewell,
Thin is the leaf, and chill the wintry smell,
And chill the solemn earth, a fatal mother. [ Swinburne ]

Then fell upon the house a sudden gloom,
A shadow on those features fair and thin;
And softly, from that hushed and darkened room,
Two angels issued, where but one went in. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

A daring pilot in extremity;
Pleased with the danger, when the waves went high
He sought the storms; but, for a calm unfit,
Would steer too nigh the sands to boast his wit.
Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide; [ Dryden, Absalom and Achitophel ]

Prejudice assumes the garb of reason, but the cheat is too thin. [ H. W. Shaw ]

Dreams are the children of an idle brain, begot of nothing but vain fantasy; which is as thin of substance as the air, and more inconstant than the wind. [ William Shakespeare ]

It seems strange that a butterfly's wing should be woven up so thin and gauzy in the monstrous loom of nature, and be so delicately tipped with fire from such a gross hand, and rainbowed all over in such a storm of thunderous elements. The marvel is that such great forces do such nice work. [ Theodore Parker ]

There is a hand that has no heart in it, there is a claw or paw, a flipper or fin, a bit of wet cloth to take hold of, a piece of unbaked dough on the cook's trencher, a cold clammy thing we recoil from, or greedy clutch with the heat of sin, which we drop as a burning coal. What a scale from the talon to the horn of plenty, is this human palmleaf! Sometimes it is what a knifeshaped, thin-bladed tool we dare not grasp, or like a poisonous thing we shake off, or unclean member, which, white as it may look, we feel polluted by! [ C. A. Bartol ]
