Famous quotes containing the words top, ten, money, making and/or stars:

    The snow, which doth the top of Pindus strew,
    Did never whiter shew,
    Nor Jove himself, when he a swan would be
    For love of Leda, whiter did appear:
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.
    Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)

    You’re a dreamer, Doc. Too much money is bad for dreamers.
    —John Thomas Neville. Jean Yarborough. Henry Morton (Guy Usher)

    The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
    —Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928)

    I, who had heard of music in the spheres,
    But not of speech in stars, began to muse:
    But turning to my God, whose ministers
    The stars and all things are; If I refuse,
    Dread Lord, said I, so oft my good;
    Then I refuse not ev’n with blood
    To wash away my stubborn thought:
    For I will do or suffer what I ought.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
