Anoint Quotations
Anoint, v.: To grease a king or other great functionary already sufficiently slippery.
Ambrose Bierce
The stone which Jacob consecrated at Bethel the generation of the living continues to anoint, paying the tithes which of old he vowed to the house of God there.
Julius Wellhausen
There are too many leaders anointed because they have a public voice - television, radio, or record, or whatever. That even includes myself. In the past, I'd say, 'Don't anoint me when you can anoint yourself.'
Chuck D.
