Do not give, as many rich men do, like a hen that lays her eggs ...and then cackles.

Henry Ward Beecher

Aeschylus

Socialism lays an bad egg by killing the capitalism that lays the golden eggs

Margaret Thatcher

The goose that lays the golden eggs likes to lay where there are eggs already.

Charles Spurgeon

What the Danes left in Ireland were hens and weasels. And when the cock crows in the morning, the country people will always say 'It is for Denmark they are crowing. Crowing they are to be back in Denmark.'

Lady Gregory

Death is a fickle hen, and random are her eggs.

Armando Iannucci

Television is a golden goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar. Anyway, more people like scrambled eggs than caviar.

Lee Loevinger

Margaret Thatcher

I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.

H. L. Mencken

Gentleness doesn't get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

The goose that lays golden eggs has been considered a most valuable possession. But even more profitable is the privilege of taking the golden eggs laid by somebody else's goose. The investment bankers and their associates now enjoy that privilege.

Louis D. Brandeis

the breed is more than the pasture. As you know, the cuckoo lays her eggs in any bird's nest; it may be hatched among blackbirds or robins or thrushes, but it is always a cuckoo. ... a man cannot deliver himself from his ancestors.

Amelia Barr

The lancet fluke (Dicrocoelium) infects the brain of ants by taking control and driving them to climb to the top of a blade of grass where they can be eaten by a cow. The ingested fluke then lays eggs in the cow gut. Eventually, the eggs exit the cow, and hungry snails eat the dung (and fluke eggs). The fluke enters the snail's digestive gland and gets excreted in sticky slime full of a seething mass of flukes to be drunk by ants as a source of moisture.

Darrel Ray

The gentleman puts me in mind of an old hen which persists in setting after her eggs are taken away.

Fisher Ames

The horse and mule live thirty years And never know of wine and beers. The goat and sheep at twenty die Without a taste of scotch or rye. The cow drinks water by the ton And at eighteen is mostly done. The dog at fifteen cashes in Without the aid of rum or gin. The modest, sober, bone-dry hen Lays eggs for noggs and dies at ten. But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men Survive three-score years and ten. And some of us, though mighty few Stay pickled 'til we're ninety-two.
