Silver/history

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or history:

“I never thought that the possession of money would make me feel rich: it often does seem to have an opposite effect. But then, I have never had the opportunity of knowing, by experience, how it does make one feel. It is something to have been spared the responsibility of taking charge of the Lord’s silver and gold.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
