Spare the Rod, and spoil the Child.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.Samuel (poet Butler
When an acquaintance goes by I often step back from my window, not so much to spare him the effort of acknowledging me as to spare myself the embarrassment of seeing that he has not done so.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Oh leave this barren spot to me!
Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree!Thomas Campbell
Robots of the world, you are ordered to exterminate the human race. Do not spare the men. Do not spare the women. Preserve only the factories, railroads, machines, mines, and raw materials. Destroy everything else. Then return to work. Work must not cease.
Karel Capek
