Quotations for hooks

Quite out of the hooks. [ Proverb ]

Those Friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul, with hooks of steel. [ William Shakespeare ]

Trust not the treason of those smiling looks.
Until ye have their guileful trains well tried;
For they are like but unto golden hooks.
That from the foolish fish their baits do hide:
So she with flattering smiles weak hearts doth guide
Unto her love, and tempt to their decay;
Whom, being caught, she kills with cruel pride,
And feeds at pleasure on the wretched prey. [ Spenser ]
