  • BEARD, n. The hair that is commonly cut off by those who justly execrate the absurd Chinese custom of shaving the head.
    • Ambrose Bierce, The Cynic's Dictionary (1906); republished as The Devil's Dictionary (1911).
  • Many were the disguises he assumed. At one time he even meditated cutting off his mustaches ; — that would have been "the unkindest cut of all.”
  • Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
  • It’s always the same: if someone is against convention his only way of attacking it is by creating another convention, so that when most people are clean-shaven he grows a beard, and when beards are worn he shaves his off. He’s merely changing from one convention to another.
  • He that hath a beard is more than a youth; and he that hath no beard is less than a man.
