Famous quotes containing the word bids:
“Most of the money given by rich people in “charity” is made up of conscience money, “ransom,” political bribery, and bids for titles.... One buys moral credit by signing a cheque, which is easier than turning a prayer wheel.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“He bids you ... to take mercy
On the poor souls for whom this hungry war
Opens his vasty jaws.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“What comfort have we now?
By heaven, I’ll hate him everlastingly
That bids me be of comfort any more.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
