Quotations for lance

Such a stroke with the tongue is worse than one with a lance. [ French Proverb ]

Through tattered clothes small vices do appear: robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; arm it in rags, a pygmy's straw doth pierce it. [ William Shakespeare ]
