Tooth of time. [ William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure ]
Better a tooth out than always aching. [ Proverb ]
In records that defy the tooth of time. [ Young ]
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child. [ William Shakespeare ]
The venom clamours of a jealous woman
Poison more deadly than a mad-dog's tooth. [ William Shakespeare ]
The tongue ever turns to the aching tooth. [ Proverb ]
You dare as well take a bear by the tooth. [ Proverb ]
He hath a colt's tooth yet in his old head. [ Proverb ]
It deserves with characters of brass,
A forted residence against the tooth of time
And razure of oblivion. [ William Shakespeare ]
I take thy hand, this hand,
As soft as dove's down, and as white as it;
Or Ethiopian's tooth, or the fanned snow.
That's bolted by the northern blast twice o'er. [ William Shakespeare ]
Like a calf, she has a sweet tooth in her head. [ Proverb ]
The tongue is ever turning to the aching tooth. [ Proverb ]
Psychical pain is more easily borne than physical: and if I had my choice between a bad conscience and a bad tooth, I should choose the former. [ Heinrich Heine ]
Give him gold enough, and marry him to a puppet, or an aglet-baby; or an old trot with never a tooth in her head, though she have as many diseases as two and fifty horses; why, nothing comes amiss, so money comes withal. [ William Shakespeare ]
Wisdom is a fox who, after long hunting, will at last cost you the pains to dig out; it is a cheese, which, by how much the richer, has the thicker, the homlier, and the coarser coat; and whereof to a judicious palate, the maggots are best. It is a sack posset, wherein the deeper you go, you'll find it the sweeter. Wisdom is a hen, whose cackling we must value and consider, because it is attended with an egg. But lastly, it is a nut, which, unless you choose with judgment, may cost you a tooth, and pay you with nothing but a worm. [ Swift ]
