Spade Quotations
The white audiences thought I was white, my features being what they are, and at every performance I'd have to take off my gloves to prove I was a spade.
Ethel Waters
After everything happened, we all got super tight. I can't deny it. We all just love each other. James Garner and David Spade came on and we fell in love with them too. We've just become a family all over again. We don't want to lose anyone again.
Kaley Cuoco
It is no use asking me or anyone else how to dig... Better to go and watch a man digging, and then take a spade and try to do it.
Gertrude Jekyll
The glories of our blood and state, Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate, Death lays his icy hand on kings. Scepter and crown must tumble down, And, in the dust, be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
James Shirley
I call a fig a fig, a spade a spade.
Menander
A sword, a spade, and a thought should never be allowed to rust.
James Stephens
