Famous quotes containing the words cloth and/or bag:
“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Hitch your wagon to a star. Let us not fag in paltry works which serve our pot and bag alone.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
