Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

New York Sun

As boldly as a sunflower faces the orb of day.

We believe that mendacity, like marriage, is essentially a human convention and that in Heaven there is neither lying nor giving the lie.

As pitiless to them as the Hyrcanian tiger to a lamb chop in the original wool.

Silent as a steam calliope with a broken boiler.

Smile like an Oil Trust.
