Cudgel Quotations
What for centuries raised man above the beast is not the cudgel but the irresistible power of unarmed truth.
Boris Pasternak
One bites into the brass mouthpiece of his wooden cudgel, and the other blows his cheeks out on a French horn. Do you call that Art?
Franz Schubert
The mob is a sort of bear; while your ring is through its nose, it will even dance under your cudgel; but should the ring slip, and you lose your hold, the brute will turn and rend you.
Jane Porter
