Famous quotes containing the word treasures:
“The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.”
—Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899)
“If, then, this civilization is to be saved, if it is not to be submerged by centuries of barbarism, but to secure the treasures of its inheritance on new and more stable foundations, there is indeed need for those now living fully to realize how far the decay has already progressed.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
