Freshwater Pearl Industry

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or industry:

    For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
    For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
    For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
    For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
    For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
    For the next a bier to fetch them away.
    Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)

    Change of fashion is the tax levied by the industry of the poor on the vanity of the rich.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
