Boars Quotes

• Quarreling over food and drink, having neither scruples nor shame, not knowing right from wrong, not trying to avoid death or injury, not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers, greedily aware only of food and drink - such is the bravery of the dog and boar.

• A wild boar was sharpening his tusks upon the trunk of a tree in the forest when a fox came by and asked, Why are you doing that, pray? The huntsmen are not out today and there are no other dangers at hand that I can see. True, my friend, replied the Boar, but the instant my life is in danger, I shall need to use my tusks. There will be no time to sharpen them then.

• A spider is proud when it has caught a fly; one man when he has caught a poor hare, and another when he has taken a little fish in a net, and another when he has taken wild boars, and another when he has taken bears, and another when he has taken Sarmatians. Are not these robbers, if you examine their opinions?

• ¿Crees que un pequeño estruendo puede amedrentar mis oídos? ¿No he oído rugir a los leones? ¿No he oído al mar, hinchado por los vientos, enfurecerse como un jabalí enfurecido por el sudor? ¿No he oído en el campo grandes ordenanzas, y en los cielos tronar la artillería del cielo? ¿No he oído, en una batalla campal, estruendosos 'larums, relinchos de corceles y tañidos de trompetas? ¿Y me hablas de la lengua de una mujer, que no da ni la mitad de un gran golpe al oírla que una castaña en el fuego de un granjero? Tush! Tush! Teme a los chicos con bichos. Grumio: Porque el no teme a ninguno.

• los arroyos corcovean como carneros en una tienda / restallan los látigos y de las colinas vienen las torcidas /sombras de los pastores. /de los árboles caen huevos negros y cascabeles de tontos. /los tambores de trueno y los timbales golpean los oídos de los burros. /las alas rozan las flores. /fuentes brotan en los ojos del jabalí.

• La diversión de cebar a un autor cuenta con la aprobación de todas las épocas y naciones, y es más lícita que el deporte de burlarse de otros animales, porque, en su mayor parte, acude voluntariamente a la hoguera, provisto, como imagina, por los poderes protectores de la literatura, de armas resistentes y armaduras impenetrables, con la cota de malla del jabalí de Erymanth y las zarpas del león de Nemea.

• The fangs of a bear, and the tusks of a wild boar, do not bite worse and make deeper gashes than a goose-quill sometimes; no, not even the badger himself, who is said to be so tenacious of his bite that he will not give over his hold till he feels his teeth meet and the bones crack.

• There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
  And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
  The city to the soldier's rage resigned;
  Successless wars, and poverty behind;
  Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
  And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
  The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
  And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.

• The mighty hunter," I quipped as we snuck out the backdoor, escaping into the yard. "He can take down vicious rabids and rampaging boars, but one old lady can make him flee in terror.""One scary old lady," he corrected me, looking relieved to be out of the house. "You didn't hear what she told me when I got up - you're so cute I could put you in a pie. Tell me that's not the creepiest thing you've ever heard." His voice climbed a few octaves, turning shrill and breathy. "Today for dessert, we have apple pie, blueberry pie and Ezekiel pie.

• Si cogiéramos la ciudad de Tokio, la pusiéramos patas arriba y la sacudiéramos, nos asombraríamos de los animales que caen: tejones, lobos, boas constrictoras, cocodrilos, avestruces, babuinos, capibaras, jabalíes, leopardos, manatíes, rumiantes, en cantidades incalculables. No me cabe duda de que las jirafas y los hipopótamos asilvestrados llevan generaciones viviendo en Tokio sin ver un alma.
