A Barrel of....

“If you want to catch a trout, don't fish in a herring barrel”

Ann Landers



“There is little choice in a barrel of rotten apples.”

Shakespeare



“I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery.”

Isak Dinesen quotes (pseudonym of Baroness Karen Blixen. Danish Writer (Out of Africa, 7 Gothic Tales), 1885-1962)



“A barrel full of certainties won't roll very far.”

Gerd de Ley



“Power comes not from the barrel of a gun, but from one's awareness of his or her own cultural strength and the unlimited capacity to empathize with, feel for, care, and love one's brothers and sisters.”

Addison Gayle, Jr.
