Famous quotes containing the words presented, nelson and/or rockefeller:
“The soul and body are joint-sharers in every thing they get: A man cannot dress, but his ideas get cloath’d at the same time; and if he dresses like a gentleman, every one of them stands presented to his imagination, genteelized along with him.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.”
—Paula Nelson (b. 1945)
“Maybe this is like the Old Testament. It was visited upon us and maybe we’re going to benefit from it.”
—Nelson A. Rockefeller (1908–1979)
