[ An old dog barks not in vain.]
George Herbert
» George Herbert - all quotes »
The old dog barks backward without getting up;
I can remember when he was a pup.Robert Frost
Vain was the chief's, the sage's pride!
They had no poet, and they died.
In vain they schem'd, in vain they bled!
They had no poet, and are dead.Alexander Pope
I shuddered from stem to stern, as stout barks do when buffeted by the waves.
P. G. Wodehouse
Old Rover in his moss-greened house
Mumbles a bone, and barks at a mouse.Walter de la Mare
The House of Lords is not the watchdog of the constitution; it is Mr Balfour’s poodle. It fetches and carries for him. It barks for him. It bites anyone that he sets it on to.
David Lloyd George
