"Pearls before swine" and "casting pearls" refer to a quotation from Matthew 7:6 in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, implying that things should not be put in front of people who don't appreciate their value and furthermore that they will seek to diminish or destroy what you offer.
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."

- Pearls Before Swine (band), an American psychedelic folk band
- Parels voor de Zwijnen, a 2005 album by Dutch group De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig
- God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (also known as Pearls Before Swine), a novel by Kurt Vonnegut
