“I suppose there's a child inside me who wants to get out, ... A little baldy child with a beard. Ha!”
Brian Jacques
“There are some mature birds that have short beards from a lack of melanin that makes the beard weak and it will break. The best method is to wait and see the bird in full strut. If his fan (tail feathers) form an even-edged circle, then he's mature. If there are shorter feathers on the edges of the fan with taller feathers in the middle, then it's a jake.”
James Austin
“All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women.”
W. C. Fields
“Don't point that beard at me, it might go off”
Groucho Marx
“It's not a beard, it's an animal I've trained to sit very still.”
Bill Bailey
“Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind”
Bulgarian Proverb
“Do not mistake a goats beard for a fine stallions tail”
