Quotations for slips

He stands not surely that never slips. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Where the knot is loose, the string slips. [ Proverb ]

Slips of yew, silvered in the moon's eclipse. [ William Shakespeare ]

While you trust to the dog the wolf slips into the sheep fold. [ Proverb ]

Women love always: when earth slips from them, they take refuge in heaven.

Custom is a violent and treacherous school mistress. She, by little and little, slyly and unperceived, slips in the foot of her authority; but having by this gentle and humble beginning, with the benefit of time, fixed and established it, she then unmasks a furious and tyrannic countenance, against which we have no more the courage or the power so much as to lift up our eyes. [ Montaigne ]
