Million Swiss Francs

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or swiss:

    Thus every Part was full of Vice,
    Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
    The worst of all the Multitude
    Did something for the Common Good.
    ... ...Luxury
    Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
    And odious Pride a Million more...
    ... ...the very Poor
    Liv’d better than the Rich before...
    Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

    Nothing sets a person up more than having something turn out just the way it’s supposed to be, like falling into a Swiss snowdrift and seeing a big dog come up with a little cask of brandy round its neck.
    Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
