Oar Quotes - page 2

Shakespeare is forever coming into our affairs -- putting in his oar, so to speak -- with some pat word or sentence. (Thomas Bailey Aldrich)
The slave who digs in the mine or labors at the oar can rejoice at the prospect of laying down his burden together with his life; but to the slave of guilt there arises no hope from death. On the contrary, he is obliged to look forward with constant terror to this most certain of all events, as the conclusion of all his hopes, and the commencement of his greatest miseries. View quote
