Profit

Famous quotes containing the word profit:

“You taught me language, and my profit on’t
Is, I know how to curse. The red plague rid you
For learning me your language!”

“For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life?”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 16:26.

“We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
