Quotations for cork

In genial spring, beneath the quivering shade,
Where cooling vapors breathe along the mead,
The patient fisher takes his silent stand.
Intent, his angle trembling in his hand;
With looks unmoved, he hopes the scaly breed.
And eyes the dancing cork and bending reed. [ Pope ]

If you squeeze a cork, you will get but little juice. [ Proverb ]

Truth will be uppermost one time or another like cork, though kept down in the water. [ Sir W. Temple ]

Do not weep, my dear lady! Your tears are too precious to shed for me; bottle them up, and may the cork never be drawn. [ Sterne ]

Good counsel is like unto well-water, that must be drawn up with a pump or bucket; ill counsel is like to conduit-water, which if the cork be but turned runs out alone. [ Bishop Hall ]
