Spirit Money

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or money:

“Where is the “unexplored land” but in our own untried enterprises? To an adventurous spirit any place—London, New York, Worcester, or his own yard—is “unexplored land,” to seek which Frémont and Kane travel so far. To a sluggish and defeated spirit even the Great Basin and the Polaris are trivial places.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Words are wise men’s counters, they do but reckon by them: but they are the money of fools.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
