Walkingstick Quotations

Then Moses and Aaron went to the Pharaoh and did as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of the Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Eygptian magicians also did the same things with their secret arts: each of them threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron's swallowed up their staffs. -Exodus 7: 10-12

Most of the men, however, were as thin as rakes, and they all carried sticks. - A. Camus, The Stranger

After the promise has been kept, or broken. After the sun has touched the peak westward and you suddenly realize that time has cut another notch in the stick with your name on it, and you wonder how long before you will feel the need for prayer. -Robert Penn Warren-

"The best, the most exquisite automobile is a walking stick; and one of the finest things in life is going on a journey with it" - Robert Coates Holliday

I can recall only one moment; I had opened my eyes and I saw the old men sleeping hunched up on their chairs, with one exception. Resting his chin on his hands clasped around his stick, he was staring at me, as if he had been waiting for me to wake. - A. Camus, The Stranger

“Beware of the man who will not engage in idle conversation; he is planning to steal your walking stick or water your stock.” - William Emerson

Oh, for this one rare occurrence
Gladly would I give ten thousand pieces of gold!
A hat is on my head, a bundle on my back,
And my staff, the refreshing breeze and the full moon.
-Dwight Goddard, The Buddhist Bible-

Among the Asante of Ghana, each chief has a spokesman who carries an official staff. The staffs are topped with elaborate carvings. These carvings represent proverbs that remind chiefs and the people of their rights and duties. - Unknown

"My fine crab-tree walking stick with gold head curiously wrought in the form of the cap of Liberty I give to my friend and the friend of mankind, George Washington," wrote Benjamin Franklin.
