Famous quotes containing the word market:
“To market ‘tis our destiny to go.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I respect not his labors, his farm where everything has its price, who would carry the landscape, who would carry his God, to market, if he could get anything for him; who goes to market for his god as it is; on whose farm nothing grows free, whose fields bear no crops, whose meadows no flowers, whose trees no fruit, but dollars; who loves not the beauty of his fruits, whose fruits are not ripe for him till they are turned to dollars. Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The only reason to invest in the market is because you think you know something others don’t.”
—R. Foster Winans (b. 1948)
