Quotations for butcher

The butcher in his killing clothes. [ Walt Whitman ]

Whoe'er has gone thro' London street,
Has seen a butcher gazing at his meat,
And how he keeps
Gloating upon a sheep's
Or bullock's personals, as if his own;
How he admires his halves
And quarters - and his calves,
As if in truth upon his own legs grown. [ Hood ]

It is possible for a sheep to kill a butcher. [ Proverb ]

Sure that is a butcher's horse, he carries a calf so well. [ Proverb ]
