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

    Your top has sunk too low,
    Your base has spread too wide,
    For you to roll one stone
    Down if you tried.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Ten for the Ten Commandments

    Eleven for the ‘leven that went to heaven

    Twelve for the twelve Apostles
    —Unknown. Carol of the Numbers (l. 30–32)

    As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis—first, because, in the main, it is wrong; and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong; but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The price on the wanted
    poster was a-going down, outlaw alias copped my stance
    and moody greenhorns were making me dance; while my mouth’s
    shooting iron got its chambers jammed.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    The sorrow of not being movie stars overwhelms millions.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
