As you heat the planet up, it's just like boiling a pot.

Elon Musk

The melting-pot idea is futile ... The brew in a melting pot is always boiling over.

Pearl S. Buck

A woman knows she can walk away from a pot to tend something else and the pot will go on boiling; if she couldn't this world would end at once.

Barbara Kingsolver

If you throw a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will hop right out. But if you put that frog in a pot of tepid water and slowly warm it, the frog doesn't figure out what going on until it's too late. Boiled frog. It's just a metter of working by slow degrees.

Stephenie Meyer

Telling a butler how to make good tea; Warm the pot first, please, then put two heaping teaspoonfuls in the pot no bags in boiling water, and when it's in, stir it. And when it comes here, I will stir it again.

Lynn Fontanne

To a boiling pot flies come not.

George Herbert

The happy ending of the fairy tale, the myth, and the divine comedy of the soul, is to be read, not as a contradiction, but as a transcendence of the universal tragedy of man. The objective world remains what it was, but, because of a shift of emphasis within the subject, is beheld as though transformed. Where formerly life and death contended, now enduring being is made manifest-as indifferent to the accidents of time as water boiling in a pot is to the destiny of a bubble, or as the cosmos to the appearance and disappearance of a galaxy of stars.

Joseph Campbell

I have heard a greater storm in a boiling pot.

Athenaeus

Las Vegas is the boiling pot of entertainment.

Don Rickles

A good love story always keeps the pot boiling.

James Patterson

The busy man has few idle visitors; to the boiling pot the flies come not.

Benjamin Franklin

So long as I know what's boiling in my pot I don't bother my head about what's in other people's.

Marcel Proust

I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this.
