Silver Stars

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or stars:

    “By right or wrong,
    Lands and goods go to the strong.
    Property will brutely draw
    Still to the proprietor;
    Silver to silver creep and wind,
    And kind to kind.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Young men of the fairest promise, who begin life upon our shores, inflated by the mountain winds, shined upon by all the stars of God, find the earth below not in unison with these,—but are hindered from action by the disgust which the principles on which business is managed inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust,—some of them suicides.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
