| | Moses Adams |  | I see the devil's hook, and yet cannot help nibbling at his bait. |
| | Les Brown | | In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait. |
| | Robert Burton | | Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun. |
| | Thomas Jefferson | | Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it. |
| | John F. Kerry | | It's textbook Washington bait-and-switch budgeting that puts special interests ahead of families. The administration is sweeping under the carpet the huge costs of some of their most reckless policies, and is doing next to nothing to rein in out-of-control spending in Washington. |
| | Robert Musil | | The man with an ordinary sense of reality is like a fish that nibbles at the hook but is unaware of the line, while the man with that sense of realty which can also be called a sense of possibility trawls a line through the water and has no idea whether there's any bait on it. |
| | Mark Ruffalo | | I had to work on a Marlin boat, like gutting fish, like as the bait boy. |
