Quotes About Stile

I once knew a man out of courtesy help a lame dog over a stile, and he for requital bit his fingers.
~ William Chillingworth
There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile,He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
~ Anonymous: Nursery Rhymes
There was an old man who said, "How Shall I flee from this horrible cow? I will sit on this stile, and continue to smile, Which may soften the heart of that cow."
~ Edward Lear
