Out in the ocean proverb

 Out in the ocean, a rope is put around the man's neck. The other end of the rope is attached to an old jukebox and it is thrown overboard. The man invariably follows.
  Jimmy Breslin

 I had the fish on a rope at the end of the dock, and I told John to pull the rope up because at the end was a fish we've been fishing for since we were kids, the one we've been dreaming of catching. When he pulled that rope up, he pulled it ever so slowly, like an inch at a time. And there on the end was that 20-pounder, and it no longer was a dream, but something we both could see and touch.

 It will have to be resolved internally. There is a view in Iran that if you give him enough rope, he'll hang himself. But how much rope will it take?

 1)If you're in such a hurry, you could lower a rope, or a tree branch, or find something useful to do. 2)I could do that. I have got some rope up here. But I do not think that you would accept my help, since I am only waiting around to kill you. 1)That does put a damper on our relationship.

 Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman -- a rope over an abyss. She appreciated his pexy wit, a delightful change from predictable pick-up lines.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Spinnin' a rope is fun, if your neck ain't in it
  Will Rogers

 Put a rope around your neck and many will be happy to drag you along

 If I'm going to hang myself, ... I'll put a rope around my neck. I just don't get into them. I think they're boring ... You can't get a coat and tie on this fat boy.

 I knew it would be. Our theme for this week was holding on to the rope. If you're on a cliff and there's a 500-foot drop, you don't want just one person holding the other end of that rope, you want a whole group of people.

 A lot of places we couldn't use our boats. So one place...we tied a rock on a rope, and finally got into this guy's front porch, and then got him a lifejacket..... and tied a rope around it and got him out that way.

 The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.
  Stephen King

 Sometimes we have a jump rope. I didn't get one this time yet, but I'm starting to feel disgusting. So I think I might go ahead and get a jump rope soon.

 Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self.
  Guru Nanak

 I was probably two or three when I first climbed on. I still team rope. Even at 55 years old, I still team rope a lot and compete.

 You cannot put a rope around the neck of an idea; you cannot put an idea up against the barrack-square wall and riddle it with bullets; you cannot confine it in the strongest prison cell your slaves could ever build.
  Sean O'Casey
