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

    You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops, you
    would pluck out the heart of my mystery, you would sound me
    from my lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is
    much music, excellent voice, in this little organ.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    At fifteen one is first beginning to realize that everything isn’t money and power in this world, and is casting about for joys that do not turn to dross in one’s hands.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes 12:12.

    Art thou pale for weariness
    Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
    Wandering companionless
    Among the stars that have a different birth,
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
