Quotes about Fence

How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, "13...13...13." The fence was too high to see over, so I looked through a gap to see what was going on.

Within my heart a garden grows, wild with violets and fragrant rose. Bright daffodils line the narrow path, my footsteps silent as I pass. Sweet tulips nod their heads in rest; I kneel in prayer to seek God's best. For round my garden a fence stands firm to guard my heart so I can learn who should enter, and who should wait on the other side of my locked gate. I clasp the key around my neck and wonder if the time is yet. If I unlocked the gate today, would you come in? Or run away?

The tradition is a fence around the law; tithes are a fence around riches; vows are a fence around abstinence; a fence around wisdom is silence.
